143-rated chaser and has won four times in that sphere even though he's hit the deck a good few times as well; 30lb lower over hurdles and almost took advantage of that at Clonmel where he was beaten a length by a horse that followed up last week; blinkers worn last thrice, including when winning valuable handicap chase at Gowran, are discarded which is a bit curious.
