Form & Verdict

C&D maiden winner, with Two Metres Apart back in third; and runner-up in five of his six starts since then; consistency is his hallmark, but he is becoming expensive to follow, beaten favourite last three occasions; beaten only a neck last twice, and perhaps blinkers will make the difference.

Showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie when winning over this trip at Tipperary last summer; should be better for his run here last month, his first outing since last August; however, needs to reverse the form of that race with several of these rivals.
