Seven-time turf winner; has never won on AW (despite 18 attempts) so it seems encouraging that he managed a second placing on his latest visit to Dundalk four weeks ago; that was prefaced by a second at Gowran earlier that week. |

All three wins have come at Leopardstown, including last time over 1m1f (good) when a comfortable victor after being allowed to dictate the pace; 5lb rise for that seems fair enough and he's in good form but must win away from his preferred track. |

Concerning that he has failed to build on his debut second behind two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in a 7f juvenile maiden at the Curragh; ran only twice last season, and his best effort was when second at Gowran on the first occasion; same pattern this season, fair second at Dundalk before falling to improve at Gowran, perhaps a tongue-tie will make the difference |
