Three turf wins over 5f but 0-13 and it has been a while since he has shone on this surface; new headgear tried today and the tongue tie worn on his last two starts dispensed with.

Found traffic a couple of times since winning a selling handicap off 3lb lower in the first-time visor in June (all 5f, Hamilton); shouldn't mind going back up to 6f for a trainer also responsible for Ramon Di Loria.

Got the better of Kyber Crystal in a selling handicap over C&D last month (visored first time); not so good back here last week (behind Sixcor) and although he didn't get the cleanest run through, he didn't look unlucky; others appeal more.

Form & Verdict
Quite encouraging handicap debut when fourth of eight at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month but finished down the field after racing too freely over 7f recently (albeit having suffered interference); drops to 5f for this turf return; stable's other runner Yiengaa appeals more.

Effective on fast ground but all five wins have been on good or slower including three over C&D; 0-10 this season but he travelled well for a long way when third off this reduced mark at Hamilton ten days ago; usually races prominently and he could make another bold bid back at this track.
