Lightly raced 4yo won last two starts last year over 1m4f in Roscommon maiden and Bellewstown handicap, reappearing with better effort again over C&D early this month, finding plenty for pressure from some way out when beaten a neck; upped in grade but looks the type to keep improving and could run well.

Won twice over 1m4f in 2024 and began last season in form of his life over 1m6f at Navan, touched off in handicap and fine third in Listed contest; last month's 1m4f Leopardstown comeback run was encouraging, could well improve enough from that to play a major role here back at 1m6f.

Markedly progressive overall when trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off with an always-prominent fourth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); changed hands before a respectable show at Goodwood ten weeks ago; while going beyond 1m6f for the first time looks worth a go, it's hard to know whether it will help sufficiently to win this top handicap.

Very smart performer on the Flat, including wins in the Ebor and Irish St Leger; has only run three times since 2022, two moderate efforts on the Flat and then won a 16.5f maiden hurdle here in May; off since and best form is on good ground so underfoot conditions a worry.
