At $301.00 below standard effort when 15th last start at this venue. Likely to be well placed early. Large claim helps. Looks to be in trouble.

Backing up quickly for this race. Jumped at $67.00 and lacklustre showing when 9th last start at Punchestown but facing a weaker group of contenders. Yard is in form. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.
