Form & Verdict
Signed off for 2025 with a Dundalk win after several promising efforts; good chance here, though worth bearing in mind he was a beaten favourite three times on the AW before his breakthrough success; an unknown quantity on the prevailing soft ground; Sam Coen's claim a help.

AW winner went close off 1lb higher at Navan in July (6f, good); bounced back from a poor run at Galway when a 1.75l fourth over C&D last week (1.75l behind Rosato); 4lb better off with that rival now; has form on soft; in the mix again.

AW winner is 0-14 on turf but has run well in defeat at times; below best over 7f at Galway on latest but fine run on penultimate start over 6f at Navan (Poweraccclaim 1.25l behind); thereabouts if repeating that.
