Form & Verdict
Only narrowly denied in his hat-trick bid at Navan (5f, heavy) last Wednesday under a 7lb penalty; effectively 3lb higher here but he could be hard to beat if he's in the same form and doesn't find this run coming too soon.

Kept busy on AW through the winter; below form when sixth of seven at Dundalk 13 days ago (beaten roughly 9l), failing to back up a career-best effort over 6f; needs to prove he can be as effective in these conditions; has hit the frame in two of his three runs here.
