Form & Verdict
Dropped significantly in the handicap prior to winning a veterans handicap chase at Limerick last month; followed up quite cosily in a ghandicap chase at Cork and a 6lb rise for that is as good as could have been hoped for; ground not as testing but still not badly treated and likely to be a contender here.
