J: Alan Persse

T: Patrick J Flynn

Arrives in search of a fourth straight win following victories in big-field handicaps at the Curragh in November (7f, heavy) and on seasonal return in April (1m, soft to heavy), continued progression when successful over C&D last month (soft), ahead of Collecting Coin and Gleneagle Bay; up another 5lb and better ground raises a question.
