Form & Verdict
Regressive this year until taking advantage of 13lb drop in handicap to score over this trip at Fairyhouse last month, coming from well back to beat I'm Spartacus snugly under today's rider; 4lb rise looks okay and although wide draw is far from ideal, stands' side has been favoured of late so big shout if handling surface.
