24-race maiden; has been consistent in the last year, making the frame on several occasions, including when fourth here over 6f last July; solid runs the last three times over 6f and 7f; mark seems to just about sum him up however, so needs drop in trip to bring improvement. |

Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat on turf since, notably his close second of 23 in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, heavy; acts on good to firm) 13 days ago; bold show likely if in similar form. |

Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and has shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; has looked to have his share of weight since back on turf but this is his first 6f run since an AW win last December and the strong pace will suit. |
