Ex Irish; took a while to warm to the task for this trainer but he's getting the hang of things now and there was plenty to like about the manner in which he knuckled down to see off Cahier's Den at Newcastle (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago; still lowly weighted despite a token rise; player.

Inconsistent 10yo who was pulled up at Newcastle 19 days ago; however, he won here (2m4f, good) last April on the back of being pulled up twice in a row, so it will be no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run.
