Really thrived last year under both codes for Eric McNamara and seen just twice on the Flat this year, most recently when ready winner of 1m5f Down Royal handicap 10 days ago on soft; up 9lb for that but partially offset by rider's 5lb claim here; since joined Gavin Cromwell; handles better ground; big player.
Sole Flat win came at Navan in 2022 (1m5f, good); back from a break but good Roscommon run in the Spring puts him in the mix; rider had his first winner last week.
Mostly campaigned on AW with Marco Botti, winning Wolverhampton handicap over this trio in March; just fair turf efforts early in the summer when last seen; probably best watched on yard debut.
Dual AW winner also won consecutive hurdles races over 2m4f at Sligo and Downpatrick in July; penultimate Flat run at Tipperary was a solid one and place prospects here.
Sole Flat win came over this trip at Tipperary last year (good); recent Sligo effort on soft leaves her with a bit to find, although entitled to come on from that (after 264-day absence).
Third reserve; two AW wins over 1m4f early in the year, having previously won on turf (soft); recent Listowel run leaves him with plenty to find, however.
