Won for the third time when a ready enough winner over C&D two weeks ago; a 7lb rise is fair enough and a decent claimer taking off 7lb helps offset that rise; on the shortlist.

Both wins have come on the AW, including over 6f on penultimate; ran on well for a 1l third of 16 off this mark at Naas on latest (5f, good); step back up to 6f a big positive; this a tougher race but looks progressive and leading claims.
