Beat four rivals on good to yielding at Tipperary and the ground was heavy when third at Naas; less taxing conditions here may help, but others are higher up the pecking order.

Point winner who looked a top prospect when beating smart opposition in the Grade 2 bumper at the 2024 Dublin Racing Festival; penalised accordingly but perhaps a greater concern is the mammoth absence; market should be informative.
