Is 1-13 over fences with the win coming over C&D last summer off 91 (yielding to soft); hard to predict this term with some okay runs in defeat interspersed with poor efforts; his run at Galway was one of the latter when tailed off over fences but not a bad effort over hurdles here on penultimate; others preferred.
