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. |

Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

10yo who has been pulled up the last twice but he ran well for a fair way over hurdles last time following a break, over a 3m trip that probably stretches him; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Cartmel last June and he's not written off. |
