Form & Verdict
Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13; won at Downpatrick in June off 72 (3m, good) and held form well when placed twice at Wexford over 2m4f/3m1f; landed a third career success when an easy winner at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); up 6lb for that but has to be on the shortlist considering his form.
