Form & Verdict

Unexposed gelding who has form figures of 211 in handicaps and who has won by 5l at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (1m, good) in those last two runs; up another 11lb but he still looks feasibly on his latest form and is open to more progress; major player.

Yet to add to his two Irish wins in 2023 but has performed well twice this month, finishing second in Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) and fourth in classified race here (1m4f); this drop back in trip ought to suit; probably won't be far away.
