Just a Cork maiden win last year to his tally, but has performed with credit this season; excellent second in the 25-runner Bold Lad last month (splitting My Mate Alfie and Tango Flare); improved again when third behind My Mate Alfie and Big Gossey last time; has a 7lb turnaround with the year-younger winner.
