Has been running over fences, exploiting an initially favourable mark (84); handed an 11lb rise for Killarney win in August, when he beat subsequent Listowel winner Pride Of Place; faded after a mistake at the last at Listowel; won again at Galway, scoring by 5l to earn promotion to 104; sound prospects now off just 5lb higher than winning 2m5f event here 12 months ago. |
