Won twice on turf in Ireland and had competitive form in a handicap at this trip; latest run there in a new tongue-tie was highly respectable and he could be interesting on yard debut with Billy Loughnane booked; AW debut.

Both wins have been at the Curragh over 6f-7f and in varying ground; solid efforts all three starts this year including over 6f at this track last week; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by a tongue-tie; needs more on these terms.

Compelted a hat-trick at Thirsk (1m, good) in May and he's of interest on that form, but two lesser performances have followed at York and he needs to get back on track.

Had an excellent spell last autumn, winning two of his final three starts at 1m (good and heavy); needed further progress to win the Spring Mile at Doncaster in March and that didn't happen but he ran well for a long way; can be more of a factor under Brodie Hampson who won this last year.

Scored twice in Ireland; inconsistent this term for new yard, best efforts when second twice at Chester; admittedly had something to prove when tackling 1m2f the last twice, so this drop back in distance looks a plus.

Won twice for Dermot Weld (at up to 1m1f); easily his best runs for Declan Carroll have been here (twice runner-up) but those were at about 7f and at 125-1 he was tailed off at York three weeks ago (Shafdar was third); the blinkers worn for his last two races are left off.

Won Nottingham novice (1m2f, good to firm) in June on fourth start and she's since been a clear second to unexposed handicap newcomers in two small-field contests (1m2f, good to firm; subsequent winner Silver Lake on the first occasion); she may yet have a bigger performance in her.

Losing run is up to 13 but he went close at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in July and backed that up with a good second at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher back on AW and he should be in the thick of things again.
