Ralph Beckett is planning an Irish raid with Albert Bridge after conditions went against the grey this weekend.

Back with the trainer after a brief spell hurdling for Emma Lavelle, the six-year-old prefers some cut in the ground but had been engaged in Saturday's Betfred Cesarewitch.

Albert Bridge had finished third to Whiplash Willie at Salisbury but was down the field at Chester and York subsequently.

``I thought it had dried up a bit much for him,'' said Beckett. ``He's entered in the Irish Cesarewitch this weekend as well, but I think we might wait for the Irish November Handicap at Leopardstown.''
