Form & Verdict

2lb lower than for his win in Ireland last summer; 0-7 this year but his penultimate second at York (6f, good to firm), where he travelled exuberantly before succumbing to a rapidly improving 3yo late on, was a run that suggested he was primed to strike; not well drawn in Ireland last time and ran creditably in the circumstances; would be of serious interest had he not failed to fire at this meeting in either 2021 or 2022.

Came from off the pace to win a 5f handicap at the Curragh 11 days ago (5f, good to firm); 3lb rise for that looks fair enough but this is a much stiffer assignment.

Useful French form in defeat from 6f to 1m, including a Group 3 effort; has gained narrow verdicts on two visits to the Curragh for current trainer, in a 6f maiden (soft to heavy) and a 7f good-ground handicap in which he would have been an unlucky loser having travelled best; triple-digit handicap mark looks warranted and he has a chance.

Tough sprinter who had an off day in late June but otherwise has had a fine spell since handicapping and showed no sign of letting up when making it 5-8 at this level (good or slower ground) at Cork on Friday; needs to prove his mettle under a penalty in a more competitive race but in such good form he's hard to overlook with Ryan Moore up; Group 1 entry in September.
