Form & Verdict
Three wins on the AW; belatedly opened his account on turf (at 21st attempt) when getting up to land a 5f handicap at the Curragh 12 days ago; has been raised 8lb for that; however, perhaps more relevant is that he is 6lb lower than when second at Dundalk in April on his most recent AW start; holds a leading chance.

Form & Verdict
Winner of 12 of his 79 starts; has a fine record at Dundalk and is unbeaten in two visits to the beach; won off 70 here in 2023 (same mark as now) and 71 last year; won off 82 in Dundalk in March; recent turf form is unconvincing; could be a different proposition on this surface.
