Scored at Fairyhouse (1m2f, yielding) in May off 66; handicapper took a dim view and raised him 13lb; has struggled off his revised mark in three starts since and assessor slow to relent; may be on a tough mark.

Both turf wins came over 1m but proved stamina for 1m4f when scoring at Dundalk in February; nice prep run for this at Navan over 1m2f and the step back up to this trip is a plus but he's got a tricky draw to overcome.
