Yet to add to a C&D maiden win but has solid form to his credit in sprint handicaps

6f AW maiden winner, ran creditably in a Listed sprint here in May, strong contender

Return to 6f did the trick when he won for this rider at the Curragh last month, up 7lb

Four seconds from last five starts, becoming frustrating but not much improvement needed

Out of the money at Newmarket in June, better judged on previous Curragh third over 5f

5f course winner but this year's form suggests this 6f close to his optimum trip
