Form & Verdict

Has been hard to win with but came good over a furlong further at Ballinrobe in a race that has worked out well (second won since, third was placed at the Curragh); 11lb hike stiff enough nonetheless.

Form & Verdict

Five wins on AW but only 1-17 on turf; well held over hurdles lately; trainer looks to have better chances with his other contenders.
