Form & Verdict
Decent record after a break and will handle the ground; plenty of creditable efforts in valuable, and better-contested, handicaps last term after winning at Clonmel and this race represents a nice opportunity for him to land a good pot.

Form & Verdict
His wins over further (stays 3m1f) have come at left-handed tracks but good second to useful mare here in March (2m1f, soft); weakened tamely behind Pat's Choice at Galway but probably needed the run after 105 days off and could be different proposition here.
