All three wins have been at 7f, including at Leopardstown in April; safely held since (excuses last time when favourite) but handicapper has relented and now 2lb below winning mark; interesting. |

Took advantage of an easing mark to make a winning seasonal reappearance at Southwell (1m; 14-1, first start since wind surgery) in late April; non-runner at Thirsk (ground) on Sunday, and this looks a better fit; likely to have a say from 4lb higher. |
