Limerick bumper winner; appreciated the drop to claiming class when beating Bal De Rio on soft ground at Limerick over 2m5f; should be a big player here despite the drop in trip. |

Former useful hurdler, winning four times in all and capable of good form, marks in the mid-130s when at his peak; down a long way in the ratings now; managed a good run when 9l second in a veterans' handicap chase here last month; fair sixth at Navan ten days ago, but others are better suited by these race conditions. |
