Form & Verdict

Was in the form of his life in the second half of 2020, winning a Curragh handicap over 1m before second placings in a Group 3 event at Tipperary and a Listed race at this venue; best form at his peak was over 7f/1m but he has fair prospects of staying 1m2f on recent evidence; runs off 84, down 22lb from career-high
