Respectable form in maiden hurdles; fell when favourite on handicap debut at Fairyhouse; beaten 40l next time at Clonmel; raced keenly when third at Bellewstown; winning favourite at Cork last week; trip and ground should suit for this switch to chasing.

Form & Verdict
Second in the Irish Cesarewitch on his most recent outing in September; a no show in the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot prior to that when favourite; well ahead of these on ratings despite carrying a penalty; he has an absence to overcome but has won following an absence before; this should be a straightforward task for him.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

One of three runners for the yard; lightly raced 8yo who was second in the 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch in 2024 and also in non-handicaps over 10.5f and 1m6f on his latest two starts this year; will probably be in good form but needs a career best.

Second runner for yard; three-time Flat winner was second in the 2024 Irish Cesarewitch; has had his issues since but despite being very weak in the betting, ran a lovely second at Dundalk in February (ahead of Dallas Star); entitled to improve but unproven on soft.
