Ran okay on seasonal/stable debut but this stiff 7f on heavy ground might stretch him

Easy winner 12 days ago; beaten under penalty since but turned out to be poorly drawn

Won this race in 2022 and switches back to turf after string of consistent AW runs

In good form on AW for new stable this year; tendency to race too freely remains a worry
NR (4)	Amber Island Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:David Loughnane	J:Rossa Ryan T:David Loughnane	136	—	83-749	86	89	70	34d	—	—	+2	11.6	2.25/1	10 10%
Well handicapped on AW form but untested on turf slower than good to soft
1 (5)	Soar Above Grey Roan J:Darragh Keenan T:John Butler	J:Darragh Keenan T:John Butler	136	—	0054-8	86	89	66	16d	—	—	+5	10.4	4.75/1	20 5%
Much more prolific on AW, and it's questionable whether today's ground will suit
