Form & Verdict
Progressive in gaining back-to-back wins at Downpatrick during the summer; now has a 16lb aggregate rise to cope with, but makes plenty of appeal in a race in which not many of his rivals have shown their best form lately.

Has finally started looking capable in handicaps, finishing fourth at Downpatrick in June before a 2l defeat at Cork last month with this headgear combination fitted for first time; return to soft ground is fine and has each-way claims again.
