0-9 but consistent and dropped to a mark he can probably win off; now gelded

Close up on turf three runs back and excuses since then; very effective here

Multiple winner and made all for a narrow success over C&D a month ago; drawn wide

Poor on grass the last twice but has a good record of 5-24 on the AW
12 (1)	William F Browne Bay J:Leigh Roche T:Paul W Flynn	J:Leigh Roche T:Paul W Flynn	130	p	020009	63	78	-	28d	—	—	-2	6.8	2.25/1	9/1 10%

Dual turf winner probably in fair form; nothing to show from four previous visits here
13 (6)	Not Simple Bay J:Seamie Heffernan T:James M Barrett	J:Seamie Heffernan T:James M Barrett	129	h	998219	62	72	-	17d	—	—	+8	14.2	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Never involved over 1m2f last time but she's a lightly raced 7f winner; 1m could suit
