Not seen to best effect in four starts for this stable but he's done enough to think he retains a portion of his Irish ability; full revival may come at a lower level than this.

In a first-time hood (retained) he kept on for a 5l fourth at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month, having been detached at halfway; ran well on yielding to soft ground when trained in Ireland; worth another crack at 7f and he's not ruled out.

Not matched his Irish best in two runs for current stable (5f/6f) but there's still time; today's slower conditions should suit and the addition of a hood another potential plus point; considered.

He was recording his second C&D success when getting up late in September off a 3lb lower mark; still looked in top form when fourth at Wolverhampton 17 days ago, totally fluffing the start and poorly positioned but keeping on well in the straight (recorded the fastest sectional for each of the last four furlongs); capable amateur booked and he's one to be interested in.
