in touch with leaders, close up when not fluent and pushed along briefly 4 out, headway 3 out, pushed along and went second before 2 out, not fluent 2 out, soon ridden, ran on after last, led towards finish (trainer said, regarding the apparent improved form shown, that the race got away from the gelding on good ground over two and a half miles at killarney whereas today the gelding was ridden handy in a steadier run race over three miles with his best work being done at the finish. jockey said gelding got squeezed at the last bend) |

Handicap mark took a hit for his drawn-out hat-trick (third win came after 334 days off) and he's now back from another absence after pulling up on final appearance; very much up against it from 8lb out of the handicap. |

Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; not so effective in a couple of recent attempts chasing but in between went down by only a neck (clear of remainder) to a well-handicapped sort in 3m Cork handicap hurdle; drying ground to suit and one for the shortlist. |

11st 10lb |
Three-time winner over fences showed the benefit of Tipperary comeback when a good deal better at Wexford; personal best still needed to win off present mark over fences all the same and is open to attack, although not a great deal of miles on the clock at this game either. |
14/1 |
