Won his maiden here and added a rated race at the Curragh two weeks ago (7f, soft); nudged up 3lb but for that but it seems a fair rise given the RPR he produced. |

Sligo maiden winner on soft last year and was later runner-up in a Newmarket listed race, both over 6f; by far the best of three runs this term when second in a 6f Naas conditions last time; the blinkers worn then are retained but this trip is a question. |

Soft or heavy ground is crucial for him, and wisely was given the summer off after winning at the Curragh in April; twice beat Mercurial over C&D in 2024, including in this race; chance is dependent on how much rain falls. |
