2-26 on turf and is 1lb lower than when last scoring at the Galway festival in 2025 (8.5f, soft); well held in the Cambridgeshire at the Curragh on latest and unproven on this surface; 7f is a query too; others preferred. |

Is just 2-25 but ran a cracker in this race last year, just getting chinned after forcing the pace; hasn't repeated that level in four runs this year but is off a dangerous mark if getting back to best; 1lb out of the handicap. |
