Shows every sign of maturing into a high-class 1m handicapper at the age of six; winner of three races at 7f, starting the campaign with a 1m success at Naas, well on top in the closing stages; looked a shade unlucky not to follow up in a 7f premier handicap at the Curragh; big chance for trainer/rider combination associated with the 2022 winner.

Four-time winner was unlucky not to win a good prize early in the season; form has tailed off though with three bad runs at Galway and again at Naas last Sunday; hard to fancy.

Was gaining sixth career-win when successful seasonal return at Naas eight days ago, wearing down one-time clear leader late on; 3lb rise plenty fair, interesting to see if he can back that up, hasn't always been that consistent and wants an ease.

Consistent performer since joining Ger O'Leary this season, and ground-versatile too; two wins at Roscommon this season over 1m2f on good and 7f on heavy; gets in here with his winner's penalty and an interesting runner.
