Gained breakthrough win at Wexford in July (2m4f, good); raised 6lb and came up short in follow-up bid over C&D next time; made all at Bellewstown (2m2f, good) latest; 5lb rise negated by rider's claim but unproven in the mud.

Off the mark in decisive fashion over C&D 16 days ago; a 6lb rise for that 5.5l win seems lenient and he may be hard to stop if turning up here in a similar mood.

Form & Verdict

Shock winner at Cork in April (2m, yielding); mid-field off revised mark at Limerick later that month, when testing ground may not have suited; unplaced favourite in a novice contest at Downpatrick; moderate run at this venue last month, jumped untidily at times.
