Decent runs in defeat over autumn/winter, finishing fourth here (3m1f, good to yielding) and third at Punchestown (3m, heavy); less than fluent jumping at Musselburgh when fifth in February (3m, good to soft); stayed on for a distant third at Clonmel last time (3m, heavy); not out of it and this better ground may help. |
