In good form in the autumn of last year but has appeared to struggle in a number of starts since returning to action in March. First time cheekpieces may prove a big assist.

Career high rating of 75 when in the hands of trainer Richard Fahey, but last came came over two years ago off a 10 higher mark. Well held on debut for new connections and looks to be on a downward spiral.

  1. Great White Shark
