Form & Verdict

Posted three cracking runs in defeat in bumpers, including behind Ballyburn and Fact To File; didn't match that form in two hurdle starts, albeit also beaten by smart rivals; a major player if at his best on return.

Form & Verdict

Smart Flat sort at his best, winning a Premier handicap at Galway in 2022; wasn't in the same form last year, albeit he faced some tough tasks; should be capable of a bold show if taking to this game.
