Form & Verdict
Maiden after 18 starts; runner-up five times two seasons ago, off much higher marks, but form dipped last term and was tailed off on latest start in April; too well-handicapped to be dismissed but something to prove.

Well weighted on plenty of form but has always been a frustrating sort, as reflected by his overall strike-rate (1-27); his two efforts this autumn don't suggest a second win is imminent.

Enhanced his strike-rate over fences to 7-24 with a clearcut win at Perth (3m, good) on his return from more than a year out; didn't get very far at Listowel two weeks ago but was badly hampered by a faller and he was heavily backed in that competitive race; still looks on a workable mark and this admirable veteran is a key player for in-form yard.

Galloped rivals into the ground when winning a division of this 12 months ago (heavy; first-time cheekpieces) but the boot has been on the other foot this winter and he again ran moderately last time (first-time tongue-tie, now left off); ringing the changes with blinkers but has much to prove.
