Won three handicaps over the extended mile at this venue in 2024, at the festival, this fixture and the October meeting; no success since and was unplaced in this race 12 months ago before making the frame twice late in the season; only one run this season; potentially interesting off this mark. |

Prolific winner whose last five wins have all been at Listowel, notably on successive days last month (yielding) under today's rider, over 1m1f and under mandatory 7lb penalty over 7f; aggregate 15lb rise takes him to a career-high but has to be respected being in such good form. |
