Three-time course winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; most recent run this term was a step in the right direction (considerately-handled never nearer sixth) and could reverse form with a couple of these with top rider replacing inexperienced 10lb claimer; down to a career-low mark.

Form & Verdict
Won 7f maiden for Aidan O'Brien; fair AW run in March when beaten less than a length in third over 6f; missed break when well-held fourth at this venue; needs to reverse the form of last Sunday's Listowel clash with I Bid You Ajou and Aurora Nova.
