Form & Verdict
Solid 6f form at this venue under today's rider, notably a staying-on second in a nursery last November; fourth of 14 the following month after being squeezed for room two furlongs down; steps up in trip after a creditable third here last week on his first 2026 outing; could score with just a little improvement.

Scored off 3lb lower at Dundalk (7f) on penultimate; came up short on return to turf when a 3l fifth off revised mark at Fairyhouse (7f, good); eased 2lb and worth a go at 1m on that evidence; place shout.
