Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached.

Form & Verdict

Unseated rider in a chase earlier in the campaign before some low-key Flat efforts and failed to complete again when falling two out here on Monday back over hurdles; was still in contention that day and any rain would probably help but he's risky.
