Brought over from Ireland for five British races and ran well every time, including when fourth in this contest last year and third in the Chester Plate last month; he didn't win any of them, though, and has taken just one Irish handicap; plenty seemingly needs to go right if he's to win this but he has a place chance despite wide draw.

Seen mostly on AW, including fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) last June; running well on AW this year and good effort back on turf at Chester last month, only fading late on over 2m3f; upped in grade here and could go well with rider's claim.

Four wins from five starts at the track at trips ranging from 1m-1m4f, including an impressive victory over C&D latest when strong in the betting; form has been well advertised by the fourth winning next time; booking of Ronan Whelan would suggest he's the stable's first string; big chance.

Won this last year off 83 and followed up at Leopardstown (1m1f, gd-fm) off 88; no joy in Bahrain in the winter; soft ground not ideal on seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown and is on last winning mark now, so can't discount.

Form & Verdict
All five career victories have been around here, four over C&D; won this race in 2022 and 2023; 6lb above last winning mark; hasn't been seen since poor run at the Curragh in June; jockey bookings may suggest Slieve Binnian is first string of Paul Rooney-owned pair.
