Form & Verdict

AW winner is 1-7 on turf; showed some decent form in handicaps for Charlie Fellowes last year; eyecatching first run for Joseph O'Brien when beaten 2.5l into fourth of eight in Listed at Cork (6f, good) six days ago; could be well treated off current mark.

Form & Verdict

Second in Listed race last spring and later won 5f maiden (good); beaten under 4l in 6f Group 3 next time; didn't get clearest of runs when seventh here (6f) on handicap debut last month; cracking second behind progressive type over C&D (soft) two weeks ago; contender.

All three wins have come on AW over 6f-7f; largely consistent over the winter at Dundalk and has improved recently, beaten 0.5l in handicap there over 6f eight days ago; yet to convince on turf.
