Always behind in his two races this spring (1m2f/1m4f; ended pulled up last time) and last season was a mixed bag; however, his strong-finishing thirds last year in this race (off 1lb lower than today) and another big-field contest at Naas (2m) show that he needs a close look, particularly as some headgear (absent this season) is reinstated.

9st 4lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Last year's winner from 8lb lower went close in the Ascot Stakes off 93 in June (2m4f, good to firm); ran better than his finishing position suggested in the Petingo premier handicap when he was interfered with at the start; stayed on in the Irish Cesarewitch last time but was never near enough to challenge; can go well with a clear run.

J: Declan McDonogh

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

One of seven for yard; closely matched with stablemate Nurburgring and Ascending on Ascot Stakes running; below par twice since but ran better than the bare result at Leopardstown latest when hampered early; dangerous to dismiss.
