One of two runners for yard; point-to-point winner is 1-8 over hurdles; that win came over C&D in a maiden back in 2021; seemed to be a lost cause before bouncing back with a solid effort in a claiming hurdle at Roscommon last month; remains to be seen if he can back that up and needs more to win this.
