Drawn away from the action on his return to turf but was then said to have been unsuited by the undulations of Catterick last time, which would be a concern round here; 2lb above his last winning mark and has a bit to prove back from a short break.

Form & Verdict
Failed to win in six starts for Joseph O'Brien and he ran poorly at Fairyhouse when last seen in June (7f, good; cheekpieces first time); subsequently changed hands for 30,000gns and new connections look to have found the perfect opening, with each of his first five starts better than anything achieved by today's opposition; obvious claims.

Back in form when second to Krissy over C&D in May and he built on that when getting a fine ride to make his breakthrough here (1m, again good; Bellasio second) 19 days ago; not the easiest but little doubt this new mark still underestimates him.
