1-11 over fences; that win came over 24.5f on soft ground at Limerick in March 2023 off 88 and he remains 4lb above that mark; takes a big drop in trip here and he'd prefer softer ground than this; others preferred.

Second in a three-runner point at Boulta in November after remote fourth to Samcro at Dromahane; creditable fifth at this venue 12 months ago, but hard to believe he can improve on that now.

Won twice at a modest level in the first half of last season; badly out of form this year; no apparent chance following a spell of form that has involved four failures to complete and a tailed-off last. 5lb out of the handicap
