Form & Verdict

Rated 113 after six runs over timber; leading claims on best efforts which include placed efforts at Navan (2m, heavy) and Fairyhouse (2m, soft); yard won this last year but good ground a big concern and has to prove stamina too in first-time blinkers; heavy defeat on the Flat at Galway 30 days ago.
