Form & Verdict

Landed a 9.5f Gowran Park handicap on good to firm off 59 on his first run for this yard last month; up 6lb for that short head win and then finished a 9l third on softer ground at Killarney (14.5f) off his revised rating; these underfoot conditions should suit better and he isn't discounted back in trip.

Won over this trip on good ground off 56 at Fairyhouse in June; bombed out on next start at the Curragh off 10lb higher but much more like it when a 2.25l second at Galway last month; 2lb hike for that seems harsh but should be on the premises again.
