0-12 since winning a Dundalk maiden (1m, Polytrack) at the end of his 2yo season; has been popular in the market for his last three starts and although running well in the first two, that wasn't the case at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month; bit to prove.

Twice successful on the AW at the start of the year and had dropped to just 1lb above his last winning mark when placed at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; up 1lb and this trip might just stretch him.

All six AW wins have come over this trip on Tapeta including one here, but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) a week ago, even if that trip would have been inadequate.
