Both career wins came at this track, including off 5lb lower over fences in December over 2m4f; couple of good placed efforts this year, most notably when beaten 4l into third at Tramore in April (Aclass in second); let down by jumping when well-held over shorter trip at Ballinrobe 12 days ago; could figure back up in trip with 5lb claimer taking over.
