Form & Verdict

Fair AW form when trained in Ireland and he was a shade unfortunate not to land good market support on his stable debut here (6f) last week, short of room and losing a good position early in the race and missing out by just a nose at the finish; due to be 2lb higher from the weekend and his Irish win came over this trip so there is plenty to like about his chance.
