Form & Verdict
Started the season with two satisfactory displays, fifth of 11 over 1m at Bellewstown (good) and a close fourth of 16 over 7f at Gowran (soft); questions to answer after a poor 1m run at Leopardstown (good); longer trip should be fine if restored to form; would get 5lb from stablemate Nobler in a handicap.
