Course bumper winner in 2022 switched to the Flat last year and won a Clonmel maiden; was a fine third in Colm Quinn BMW Mile at Galway after a low-key start to the season at Leopardstown; of obvious interest on account of trainer/rider combination.

9st 5lb |
6yo who is lightly raced for his age and posted a stylish win in a competitive handicap at the Curragh (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has been well backed this week and runners from his Irish yard always have to be respected in top British handicaps; could still be well treated under a 4lb penalty; effective on yielding ground, unproven on softer. |
