Given yard's long quest for a winner, was notably well-backed at Punchestown but deserved that win on form; previous Curragh form heavily advertised by winner since and could well be nicely handicapped; major worries about trip.

Best effort in four starts came over this trip at Ballinrobe in June when beaten a head; 3.75l behind Ard Na Mara when sixth of 22 over 10f at the Curragh last month; beaten 6l latest start over 1m at Bellewstown; needs more to win this but has a place chance back up in trip.
