Well below his best at Cork latest; dangerous if allowed to dictate a small-field affair

Third behind The Big Chap at Limerick on his return, but best form is going left-handed

Beaten out of sight last week in Grade 2 company but will find this easier

Tailed off on return over hurdles at Galway and this trip is probably on the sharp side
