Initially disappointing over fences but just did enough to open account at Galway (2m6f, heavy) three weeks ago, his eighth attempt; needs to build on that performance but won't mind if the ground dries out.

Four career wins although winless for two years; slightly better in over fences and plenty to be encouraged by the way he came home over C&D last month; off the same mark here and this looks a reasonable opportunity.
