Form & Verdict
Useful form over 7f/1m in France two seasons ago; missed all of 2022 but showed he retained plenty of ability when fourth in a 6f conditions event at Dundalk in February; failed to reproduce that form in a 1m claimer at the same venue a fortnight later; absent since and thus lacks the race-fitness of stablemate Is That Love who is rated 7lb inferior.
