Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
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.

Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners).
