Resuming after a break. Started at $9.50 and well beaten when 10th last run at Wexford but fitter for debut run. Gets some weight relief. Entitled to be big odds.

First run back from a break. At $13.00 finished 10th last run at Galway. Is capable of a resurgence and suited by the weight drop. Solid claims.
