Form & Verdict
Some level of ability in two middle-distance novices for Andrew Balding last year whom he left for 3,000gns; nice step forward on second start for current yard when clear second here 12 days ago over 1m4f, having looked likely winner but hanging under pressure and caught late; cheekpieces added here and big player with senior rider aboard.

Has modest 2-36 strike-rate over fences but is largely consistent and has been as good as ever this season; not beaten far when seventh in competitive Leopardstown handicap (2m1f, good to yielding) just after Christmas and should be fine over today's longer trip; ought to be on the premises.
