11st 11lb |
Won a handicap chase in November of last year at Thurles off 97 (2m6f, yielding); second off 90 over this C&D in October 2022 but that was on soft ground; found to be clinically abnormal after pulling up on return from a break at Galway; best form is on yielding-soft; others preferred unless it rains. |

Four-time winner relished the heavy ground when a surprise winner from Instit in a Listed at Fairyhouse last time; trainer credited a pallet operation for that effort; will do well to repeat that here on this better ground. |
