Finished strongly to force a dead heat with Ryebridge over C&D (good to soft) on his handicap hurdle debut 13 days ago; wore cheekpieces on that occasion but they are now replaced by the visor he wore regularly during his Flat career; retains handicapping scope on his useful form in that sphere.

The dead-heat victory and (off today's mark) a close fourth in 2m3f Carlisle 0-110s on his last two outings rate personal best efforts; more needed again up in class, and didn't convince over 3m in Irish points.
