Highly progressive, winning five of his last six and the defeat came on his seasonal reappearance; 4lb rise for recent Leopardstown win is fair and he's clearly a tough sort to pass with some of those wins coming from the front; there's not too much pace in this and has to be respected in his current mood.

Did well to overcome slow start when winning this last term; hasn't fully fired this season and was well held in charity race at the Curragh on Saturday; like last year, he could come into things if they go hard up front.

C&D winner in 2023 three turf wins; light campaign this year but encouraging signs over C&D on latest when creditable fourth (1.5l off Star Harbour) in August; little bit to find with that rival, who has since gone close.

Officially unraced on firmer than good; ex-Polish and German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024 before a 260,000euros sale; failed to fire last year (including one 2m1f race) but shaped nicely on second start this term and landed a gamble in clearcut fashion in 24-runner handicap at the Curragh (1m6f, good) on latest, challenging 2f out; he was ridden that day as if stamina is a strength and, despite his revised mark, is one to note.

Maiden has finished second five times, twice at Ballinrobe and three times at Leopardstown; on second start of the season, was backed at latter venue when front-running second over 1m1f; that was on soft to heavy, but he's fine on good; doesn't have to lead, but mightn't be much competition for it here.
