9/1

Off the mark over fences when taking 5-runner novice at Warwick (20f, soft) 45 days ago, keeping on gamely. Asked a much bigger question here, though.

Bagged second chase win at Kilbeggan (19.9f) last summer but lightly raced and not run to same level since. Fell when remote third at Fairyhouse latest and bit to prove now.
