One of eight for trainer; made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase last summer but hit and miss since, best effort when a 2.75l runner-up behind Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November; bounced back from two poor runs in big-field handicaps when second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice last time; big fields may not be his thing.
