Had been running well before a below par effort at the Curragh last time over an inadequate 5f; runner up over C&D last year off 8lb higher; could bounce back.

Hadn't won since 2yo days but rewarded for consistency when bolting up in a C&D handicap two weeks ago; 10lb rise is a cough-softener and he will do well to follow up in a better race after that.
