Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race.

Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; ran to a decent level on RPRs in opening three runs for this yard over 6f and 7f; got upset in the stalls last time when fourth, and 5f likely too short as well; return to this trip can help, but draw not great.
