Last year's two wins were achieved over 7f, including a Listed race at Cork; plenty of merit in a 6f Group 3 Curragh run on her final start, when fourth of 11 despite having lost considerable ground at the start; will need to avoid a recurrence but not without a chance.

Form & Verdict
Progressive last term and has taken his form to a new level this time around, winning a handicap on return and more recently showing what he's capable of at Pattern level; arrives on the back of a big career best when beaten a neck by Diego Velazquez in Group 2 company and should relish the drop in class here; the one to beat.

Not won since his Madrid Handicap success 18 months ago at Naas (7f, soft) but has run some fine races, most notably when second to Diego Velazquez on good at the Curragh last year and filled the same spot behind Big Gossey on soft in the Gladness in March; well below form last time on firm; highest-rated in the field but may need ground to soften up before he's at his best.

Won his maiden over 6f here in 2024 (yielding to soft) and bagged the Madrid handicap at Naas last season (7f, soft to heavy); best run since was when beaten a neck by Diego Velazquez in this race last year (good to yielding); beaten 1.5l behind Big Gossey in a C&D Listed race on return (soft to heavy); not at his best at Leopardstown last time; appears to give his best on softer ground.
