OUR TIP

Form: 44-083

Last run: 13 days

W: 11st 12lb

9 yo Gelding

OR: 117

Form & Verdict
Became disappointing for Henry de Bromhead and sold on for £5,000 in May; quiet on stable debut but the addition of cheekpieces prompted some improvement to finish a close third at Newton Abbot (2m, good); his Irish wins were at shorter trip but he should stay this far.

Safely held at Bangor this month and now 0-5 for new stable this season but his second here (2m4f, good) in July was a good effort and he'll be favoured by the forecast rain; fine over 2m; big player if perked up by change of headgear.

Has yet to win since departing Henry De Bromhead's yard but hasn't been running badly and this is his second run after wind surgery, which appeals to some punters; potentially well handicapped.

Won twice over fences last year in Ireland; had wind surgery in between his two runs for current yard and was well off the pace before staying on over C&D last time (beaten about 8l); could improve on that form.

Dual 2m6f chase winner in Ireland last spring but returned from seven-month break with heavy defeat for new stable at Stratford (2m6f, good; had wind op soon afterwards) last month; might have needed that outing and may settle better in first-time hood here but others have much less to prove.
