Yet to add to his Irish AW maiden win in 2024 but has made the frame on all three appearances this season, most recently when very close second at Musselburgh (7f, good) a fortnight ago; only 1lb higher here and should cope if the ground eases; likely contender.

6f AW win last summer; began this campaign with good handicap runs at Haydock (6f, good to firm) and over C&D (soft); two lesser efforts have followed but he will be dangerous if back to the C&D form.

Not one to rely on but he hinted at a revival with fifth of nine over C&D 16 days ago; a three-time C&D scorer so can't be discounted off a reduced mark.
