Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; poor run over 1m6f on seasonal debut; stable appears to have two stronger contenders.

Form & Verdict
Best on very testing ground and was well held in the QR handicap here on Monday when 8.5l behind Teed Up; big swing in the weights with that rival but would make more appeal if the ground was heavy; cheekpieces go on.

Course specialist, four of his five Flat wins and both hurdle wins here; highlight when a winning favourite in this race in 2023; scored at a more modest level at last year's meeting, despite almost falling when clipping heels in the dip; rash to ignore; good point-to-point rider claims 7lb.
