Moderate effort last start when he finished last on June 27 over 480m at this track behind Aulton Cash beaten 10 lengths (29.40) in an A0. Others read better.

In-form with wins at her last two, most recently over 480m at Galway on June 27 in 28.77. Has a sharp 28.51 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into third over 503m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing sixth over 480m at this track on March 28. Usually fires fresh, having never missed the top three from three starts. Looks a key chance while fresh.
