Form & Verdict

Not really burning up the track on the 'Point' scene lately but had four lengths to spare over Fiveaftermidnight when they clashed at Downpatrick in April; longer in the tooth than most and not convinced he can uphold the latter form, but holds a sporting chance.

Form & Verdict

In disappointing form prior to his lengthy absence and two heavy defeats since his return add to the questions; needs to come right back to form but at least he has less on his plate here.
