Form & Verdict
Has enjoyed a productive winter on AW, winning three times at Dundalk since November and best run for a while when staying on well over this trip at Dundalk to score by half a length latest; on his highest mark for some time but still feasibly treated on old form and he arrives in better form than most of his rivals here.
