Fair ex-Irish 6f winner; yet to hit top form in four runs for his current yard, tried in a visor when fourth of seven in 6f Southwell handicap 15 days ago; needs to step forward despite a falling mark.

Well handicapped on last year's Irish best; has not made a big impact in three runs for Stephen Hanlon (single-figure price on each occasion) and cheekpieces didn't help over 7f three weeks ago; dropping down the weights and new headgear is tried but there are risks attached.
