Form & Verdict

Second in a barrier trial at Leopardstown; encouraging display when stable second string at Naas when fourth of 16 in September (7f, yielding to soft); a little disappointing when occupying the same position back at Naas next time (1m, yielding); cheekpieces go on now and Keane rides again; shortlisted.
