Five career wins, the last two coming at Listowel; has plenty to find with Pete's Dream and Draoicht on running at Killarney; however, his recent Gowran second suggests he could go close; lack of consistency is a worry; drawn high too, but rider is capable of coping with that potential negative.

Five career wins, the last two coming at Listowel; best run this term came last month at Roscommon (7.5f, good) when a never-nearer fourth; didn't progress at Killarney last time (1m, good) when keen.
