Only 1-9 as a chaser but often thereabouts and this looks a bit easier than of late

Beaten by the right horse in a non-handicap at Sligo the last time

Useful stayer; can cope with this trip and it's his best opportunity for a while

His Wexford win was over 3m1f and he's reportedly better going left handed

Can be inconsistent though and it was a struggle at Listowel only ten days ago

Hasn't been great of late and he'd prefer drier ground in an ideal world
