Form & Verdict
Eight of his ten wins have come over 1m on Polytrack and last two were in back-to-back handicaps during the winter; his form cooled in a Class 3 at Kempton in April but he's had a short break since and is a key player if he can get back near best on this switch to claimer.

Veteran has shaped very nicely the last twice at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (7.5f, good); close third off 3lb higher over C&D last summer; big chance with the step back up to 1m sure to suit.
