Form & Verdict

Dual winner is a generally consistent sort in defeat including at Listowel a week ago; dropped 2lb and is ground versatile so considered with cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict

Maiden has been placed several times up to 7f; well beaten from 9lb out of the handicap at the Curragh last time; has to prove stamina for this trip.
