Loves Dundalk and won three in a row there in the spring (10.5f/1m4f); sole turf win came here last summer over 1m1f (off 60) and will be sharper for Roscommon run after nearly three months off; AW mark of 87; turf mark of 78 reflects his good AW form earlier in the year, rather than his actual achievements on grass.
