Has improved for handicaps; won off 7lb lower at Fairyhouse (7f, good) and another solid effort off revised mark when a close fourth at Naas on latest; can give another good account but very wide draw not ideal. |

Needed every yard of this trip to justify strong market support on handicap debut at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago, getting up in three-way photo, still looking green; 7lb rise enough but this stiffer 7f should bring more out of him, major player. |

Veteran has won seven races up to 1m4f; won this two years ago and latest win was over 7f last October; mostly solid efforts in defeat lately, although never involved back over this trip at Galway earlier this month; good ground and a wide draw do him few favours, and others look a bit more likely. |
