Made all when winning over C&D in February off 50; favourite to follow up over 6f last time when headed inside the final 110 yards; nudged up another 1lb but rider claims 4lb more than previously; he's in good form and has won off a mark of 62 in the past.

Placed AW form in Britain and for current yard at Dundalk last month; 10 days later never counted after awkward start (wide draw) on turf debut at Bellewstown (soft); straight track and better ground could see improvement here.
