Doubled his tally over fences (now 2-26) with long-priced Down Royal win last time; that was prefaced by two failures to complete; on the positive side, he finished a respectable fifth in the Irish National and was second to Street Value in this race last season; each-way chance with 7lb claimer relating the ride.
