Probably needed the run at Galway early last month; soundly beaten in third at Limerick three weeks ago but is dropped in class now; two wins have been gained at left-handed tracks, so this should suit, as should the stiff 2m4f since he stays further.

His wins over further (stays 3m1f) have come at left-handed tracks but good second to useful mare here in March (2m1f, soft); weakened tamely behind Pat's Choice at Galway but probably needed the run after 105 days off and could be different proposition here. |
