Beaten just one rival in three runs for his new stable but he hasn't had much luck with the draw and being held up in a slowly run race last time was no good to him; he's copped the widest stall here too but Shane Kelly (regular rider for part-owner Gallagher Bloodstock) takes over for the first time and it was as recently as June that he was placed off a 14lb higher mark on Polytrack (RPR 89); type to win soon and a market check is essential.
