Form & Verdict

In good form of late, gaining second hurdles win at Thurles over 3m, despite mistakes at the final two flights; solid run off revised mark at Limerick but beaten a long way into third at this venue on latest, heavy ground probably not ideal; holding his form well and one to consider.

Last season's wins in 2m3f Limerick maiden and Naas handicap came on softer ground; has struggled a bit off revised mark, probably not staying 3m at Fairyhouse and faded tamely over today's trip at Down Royal; probably best watched for now.
