Form & Verdict

Won this last year off 84 and running into form of late, placed here last month and again latest two at Naas and not clear run when chasing home a clear-cut winner at Leopardstown 8 days ago; hold-up performer suited by 1m and testing conditions; hold-up performer needs luck in running, big player if getting it.
