Failed to shine in maidens last season; slotted into handicaps effectively with Bellewstown second, 3l in front of third-placed Knockmore Prince who had been running well at Dundalk; blinkers replace cheekpieces; open to improvement and does not need to find much more to win a race of this standard.
