He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts.

Form & Verdict
Big step up from debut run when blinkered at Cork in June in chasing home a clear-cut winner; no match for Yefimenko at Bellewstown following month but gets lumps of weight from that rival here on handicap debut so don't dismiss with new headgear combination.
