Four-time Flat winner has also won over hurdles; won over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July but has been below that level since off this mark and has to rebound. |

Four-time flat winner is 0-3 over hurdles; well-beaten at triple figure odds in a trio of maidens; blinkers replaced the hood for his handicap debut; potential improver and worth a market check. |
