Fairly consistent last season barring Ayr Gold Cup flop when doing too much too soon. 5th at York latest can be upgraded having led with 6 forcing the pace and collapsed as a result in the last furlong. Looks the only real front runner here and will probably be able to come over from bad draw in 11 to take the lead, set the fractions, and kick on to win. Won seasonal debut last year and Kevin Ryan going well. Oisin takes the ride for the 3rd time having won both previous starts together. Gelded since last season provides encouragement too.
