Didn't appear to stay in heavy ground latest; 4yo bred to stay and has time on his side

Good Tramore comeback run; excuses at Limerick since so still respected

Well held on recent return from year's absence; entitled to come on for that

Nothing in maidens (twice here) and market probably best guide on handicap debut; reserve
