5 yo Gelding

OR: 90

Form & Verdict
Has seldom produced consistent form but this trip is probably closer to his optimum than the 1m6f he has faced on his last two starts; most recent of his three wins was over 1m4f at Cork 13 months ago, off 4lb lower mark; perhaps best on good ground.

took keen hold, soon raced in second, disputing second before halfway, pressed leader when ridden over 2f out, lost second and weakened quickly final 110yds, eased when lost fourth towards finish, looked to go wrong

Again failed to convince with his stamina for this far when down the field in a premier handicap at the Curragh most recently; 1m4f looks more his trip and the forecast rain isn't welcomed.
