Form & Verdict
Much improved in this headgear combination on AW debut a fortnight ago with forcing tactics adopted over C&D from same low draw, keeping on well in beating Monvoe 0.5l (third-placed Badger's Cove won here last week); 7lb higher but capable 5lb claimer negates much of that; remains in same grade and has to be respected.

Fair AW form when trained in Ireland and he was a shade unfortunate not to land good market support on his stable debut here (6f) last week, short of room and losing a good position early in the race and missing out by just a nose at the finish; due to be 2lb higher from the weekend and his Irish win came over this trip so there is plenty to like about his chance.
