Course specialist won this in 2023 and third in last two renewals; lacked a prep outing before his run here on Tuesday where he backpedalled tamely; draw has been kind for one with his run-style, but he's pushing on and looks opposable.

He was making hay in AW claimers earlier in the year, winning three of his last four races (6f-1m) for Denis Hogan and he carried on the good work when taking a Kempton handicap (1m, AW) at 25-1 on his stable debut four weeks ago; up 4lb but he used to act on turf and can't be discounted from a good stall.

Dual winner for Aidan O'Brien in his early days; his three wins this year have all been in claimers at Dundalk (6f-1m) but he travelled smoothly before winning with plenty in hand last time; with another new yard now but he remains well treated on old form and is not ruled out back in a handicap.
