Thrived since joining this yard, three wins from five at this track, albeit all at 5f, most recently off 77 early this month; speedy type up an aggregate of 32lb this term so rider's claim very valuable here and now tries 6f again.

Four-time winner here at 6f-7f, including when readily seeing off 13 rivals over 7f three weeks ago off 70; now 9lb higher but can't be discounted and won over this trip at the Curragh in August.

The bulk of his winning has been done on AW but he did win a 5f handicap at the Curragh last August; recent efforts need bettering but he would seem likely to give his running.

Much stronger record on AW (5-30, placed nine times) as opposed to turf (1-25, placed four times); two of his last three starts on grass have been satisfactory; probably superior to stablemate Apache Outlaw.

Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; three recent runs here for current yard have been promising, including when sent off favourite for 7f handicap nine days ago, but this trip looks too short.

Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider.
