Form & Verdict
Point winner at Oldcastle in March and made a fine bumper debut when beaten a short head at the Punchestown festival; one would think he is the likelier of the two Gigginstown declarees to run and has a favourite's chance.

Decisively accounted for a subsequent winner when landing a Ballinrobe bumper in September; ran very flat by comparison in a Punchestown winners' contest since; has a question to answer after that but comes right into it on his winning form.
