Gained a first win since 2020 here last week; has to prove he's as good at this trip but shaped like it would suit latest; 7lb rise perhaps harsh.

Was the subject of a major market move on his second handicap start when returning from a 538 day absence earlier this month at Wexford (sent off 4-1 fav); must have been showing a bit at home and he shaped well enough before the lack of a recent run took its toll; respected, especially if the money comes again.

Didn't show much in maiden hurdles; similar story on handicap debut at Clonmel back in February 2023; first run since and can only be watched for now.
