Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; not so effective in a couple of recent attempts chasing but in between went down by only a neck (clear of remainder) to a well-handicapped sort in 3m Cork handicap hurdle; drying ground to suit and one for the shortlist.
