One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender.

Form & Verdict
Winner of a heavy-ground 1m2f Leopardstown Group 3 in April 2024 and added to that when a winner at this venue in a conditions race over 18.5f in February last year; gelded since beaten 29l in the Irish St Leger when last seen; the jury is out on whether he is effective at this trip (weakened from 1f out in only other try); trainer has better candidate in Bryant.

Well-beaten second to Leinster in weaker four-runner renewal of this last year, and no match for Carmers at Down Royal in May; on a long losing sequence and will be a big price; usually leads.

Group 3 winner over 1m2f at three; losing sequence stands at 14 since a Dundalk win early last year; flattered by his proximity to star stayer Scandinavia in a 1m6f Listed race at Navan in April; remote seventh behind Illinois in the Queen Alexandra; should not be ruled out on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Wonderful AW record (outside the top three just once, and two wins from nine starts); last win came over 10.5f here in August off 88; proved stamina when running on well for a 1l third in a 2m heritage handicap at Chester in September but well beaten in the Irish Cesarewitch when last seen; can never be ruled out back on this surface and has run well following a break before.

Both career wins have come here, the latest in this race last year off 1lb higher; has run well in defeat over much further on turf a couple of times this term and soft ground wouldn't have suited at Galway latest; should be doing his best work at the finish.

Five-time winner in Britain; made first run for this yard in a 1m4f claimer here last month when midfield despite being best treated by the race conditions in a first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces went on for his latest run in 10.5f handicap here when again finishing in midfield; all headgear left off now but others preferred.
