Form & Verdict
Three of his 14 wins have been gained over C&D, and he has struck a vein of form again, having dropped sharply in the ratings; good effort when second of 17 over this trip at Fairyhouse last month; backed that up with third placing over 5f at Bellewstown last week; has a slight edge over much younger stablemate Kwa Herini on Fairyhouse running.

Showed decent form in the early stages of last season; lost form afterwards and last month's comeback run at Fairyhouse was poor; no obvious claims although has been given every chance by the handicapper and upped in trip.
