Won this race in 2023 but that is his sole win from 21 starts over fences; poor in both runs this summer and has to return to best. |

1-20 over fences, the win coming off 80 at Killarney just under two years ago; remains 4lb above his last win and didn't show enough on return from a break on latest to make him of interest here. |

Three-time winner over fences showed the benefit of Tipperary comeback when a good deal better at Wexford; personal best still needed to win off present mark over fences all the same and is open to attack, although not a great deal of miles on the clock at this game either. |
