Form & Verdict

Won the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup over 1m2f here in May 2021; out of form last year and on his first two starts this term; more like it when 3rd to stablemate Layfayette in the Royal Whip here in August and also in last month's Doonside Cup at Ayr; Listed-placed on his only previous 1m4f attempt; should be too strong for these rivals.

Form & Verdict

Veteran has returned to a career-high mark of 87 (attained when winning 2017 Irish Cesarewitch) thanks to a convincing 2m1f course success with the help of his favoured testing conditions last month; not beaten far in mid-division in valuable 2m handicap at Naas ten days ago; will hardly have the pace to cope with Helvic Dream over 1m4f.
