Three-time AW winner added a second turf win in decisive fashion on return from 107 days off on first try over 1m4f (good) at Leopardstown last month; ridden by 7lb claimer that day so effectively 15lb higher here; will need a big career best to follow up, but unexposed at this distance and can't be discounted.

Well beaten in a low-grade Irish handicap hurdle in May but 2-2 for new stable since returning to the Flat last month, the wins gained over C&D (soft) and at Musselburgh (1m4f, good); probably still on a good mark under 4lb penalty for latter success, and commands respect in current mood.
