Irish challenger; has something to find on most of his form but he is interesting judged on penultimate effort, when close second in Group 2 at the Curragh (7f, good to yielding) behind Diego Velazquez who followed up in the Group 1 Marois; that's his clear peak on RPRs.

T: Clive Cox

One of two runners for Clive Cox who won this in 2003; has advanced his RPR with each start and it's interesting that he was so strong in the market for handicap debut at the Curragh (7f, good; 15-8) where he was given every chance but ultimately repelled by Iceford; won his maiden over 6f but 1m shouldn't be a problem; every chance of serving up another personal best.

Thrown in on his form for Jim Bolger but he has finished down the field in four runs for new connections, weakening over 7f and 6f; the return of a tongue tie may help, as will the drop into a Class 6, so not discounted back at 5f for the owners who took this race 12 months ago.
