Grand handicapper, but marksman has had his measure for some time; best run this year was when second in premier handicap, under Lee, at the Curragh (1m) on Derby weekend and also creditable fourth in the Irish Cambridgeshire; slow start and never involved at Leopardstown last Saturday; might race prominently and could go well, but 7f is a bit sharp for him.
