Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected.

Form & Verdict
Once rated in the 80s, he was a decisive winner off a modest 56 on second start for this yard at Leopardstown in April; unlucky in running at Tipperary later that month; won a claimer at Gowran last month and second over a shorter trip in a Tipperary race last time; previous form beyond 1m2f raises doubts.

One of three for yard; Flat winner (two on soft-heavy) is 0-8 over timber but he ran better on yielding ground at Killarney last time when a warm order but relegated to third place late on (no chance with winner); can build on that effort.
