Acts on soft ground; Irish 4yo who landed a major handicap at the Curragh during his time with Dermot Weld; won well at Naas (good) on stable/seasonal debut, taking form figures over 1m to 3111 and strike-rate to 3-6; interesting challenger with further improvement very plausible.

There's a suspicion he might ideally need slow ground to produce his best form at 7f, especially here, but he began this season in good form (1m/7.5f, good to soft/good) and there was some mitigation when down the field at Newbury on penultimate start (1m, good; denied clear run); went close over C&D (good) on Friday; not ruled out.
