Improved for being sent chasing last summer and landed a Roscommon handicap on his third start over fences when last seen 305 days ago, travelling powerfully before beating subsequent winner Hit The Frame by 2.75l; unexposed for an 8yo and big chance off 6lb higher mark if ready to go after absence. |
