Great money-spinner for connections and especially effective at Galway, winning for the third time there when landing Colm Quinn Mile in July under well-judged front-running ride; fine effort under 7lb penalty five days later at same venue when third in Ahonoora Handicap back at 7f; second in this race two years ago off 101 so major respect although draw hasn't been kind.

Loves it here, winning this race two years ago and back at his best when winning Colm Quinn BMW Mile on Tuesday under well-judged front-running ride; went close to completing this notable double in 2023 so has to be respected although mandatory 7lb penalty makes this a lot tougher; good draw.
