Form & Verdict
Two-time Flat winner scored off 8lb lower at Killarney last May (2m1f, good); solid second in 20.5f handicap at Goodwood (soft) in August; no impact in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket when last seen; not a great record fresh and testing ground another concern.

Career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) in March and then a creditable third in 3m handicap hurdle, since when he's struggled in two strong Flat handicaps at Royal Ascot and York; one to be interested in off a realistic mark.

Thorough Flat stayer who reappeared this spring with a career best on Flat to win at Navan (1m6f, heavy) and a creditable third in 3m hurdle race; good ground looked okay for him last season but a muted display at Royal Ascot nine weeks ago perhaps confirmed that anything firmer is not ideal; either way, another career best is needed today.

Useful on the Flat and over hurdles and he ran pretty well when second at Downpatrick in August on his sole chase start; he's also the only one who has run recently but he was tailed off on the Flat at Naas only on Sunday, and others in this race appeal as having greater potential.
