Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still.

Nine-race maiden has shaped nicely in two starts this year; beaten 4l when third of 17 at Listowel latest (2m, gd-yld); this longer trip could eke out more; chance for in-form yard if as effective on this softer ground.
