Form & Verdict
Dual Polytrack winner in Britain in 2019; unplaced favourite over 1m early last month on his second Irish start; more like it when third to the in-form Leclerc over this trip a week later (Circles, fifth); fair fifth when sent back over 1m last time; should be in the mix over 7f now.
