Won three of four starts last season, including a C&D Group 3 by 7l on heavy ground; also placed in a Naas Group 3 on good ground; solid return when a 2.5l third in the 1m Park Express at the Curragh last month; step back up to this trip a plus and should be too good for these, even giving weight away.
