Four-time AW winner is 1-14 on turf; pleasing effort when a 2l fifth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good) in May when not getting the clearest of runs; got upset in the stalls and never featured at the Curragh in June. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas; a long way below his best at Leopardstown on latest. |

Last of five wins was in 2023 when he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest at Killarney; not the force he was, though he has run well from time to time, including when sixth of 14 at 80-1 in this race last year; fair third at Killarney last time; valuable 5lb claimed, could go well at a decent price. |

Latest of five wins was in the 2023 renewal of this event, after which he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest over C&D; not the same force nowadays and has come down a good bit in the ratings; was still capable of good form last year; not at his best on AW in the spring and back from a break here. |

Carries a 7lb penalty due to his C&D victory five days ago; that win came following a good third at the Galway festival (7f, yielding) but he's not the most consistent overall, so not guaranteed to reproduce his winning form. |
