Five-time Flat winner is just 1-6 over hurdles; running just okay on the level recently and has stamina to prove for this trip now back over timber; others appeal more.

Five turf wins at various trips, including over C&D last year off 57 (from stall one); good Leopardstown second (to Masego) in May wasn't backed up at Navan and has a wide draw to overcome here.

Form & Verdict
No wins since January 2024 but has shown promise in three Flat runs for his new yard including when beaten 1l at Down Royal three days ago; possibly more effective on quicker ground than what's likely but clearly on a competitive mark.
