Form & Verdict

Two wins have been over shorter, notably 2m4f Cork success in May (good); stopped quickly when pulled up at Listowel subsequently and beaten when fell two out in 2m6f Galway handicap latest; stamina concerns and won't want it soft; encouraging jockey booking.

Form & Verdict

Quite consistent form for former yard before getting off the mark on first start for Philip Rothwell in five-runner 3m2f Ballinrobe handicap 12 days ago in first-time cheekpieces, asserting run-in to win going away on yielding-to-soft; up 7lb but could well have more to offer and predicted rain will suit, although this is a much deeper contest.

Not the force of old in form terms but prevailing by a short head in a top 3m handicap chase at Leopardstown last Christmas was easily his biggest payday; ran creditably in a Grade 3 four weeks ago and has a chance even on that form, but this is his first run over hurdles since 2018.
