Left clear at Fairyhouse but would probably have won anyway; 7lb rise is fair.

A late mistake perhaps cost him when reeled in late on at Aintree; big shout.

5lb out of the weights and still a maiden, but his Leopardstown second was encouraging.

Below best this season; cheekpieces could give him a lift but others appeal more.

Contested Grade 1s the last twice and this mark is okay given his highs over hurdles.
