Much improved handicapper, hat-trick of wins on soft/heavy completed in the spring at the Curragh and Cork; better again back on similar ground at Naas eight days ago, attempting to make all under top-weight, only collared late on; upped in class here and would prefer it softer.

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.
