Commentary

Well supported when going down narrowly on return at Gowran in May and showed why 4 months on when making no mistake taking on his elders for the first time at Punchestown (9f) 3 weeks ago. Up 5 lb but could still have more to offer now that he's up and running and this longer trip will suit.
