J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

Lightly raced 4yo; yet to win a handicap but he's finished runner-up on both turf and AW, with Sunday's close call at Southwell (5f, AW) representing improvement; ahead of the handicapper and holds obvious claims; stable also run Twilight Calls.

Won C&D novice last September before a stint in Meydan (some good efforts), and he returned to action with a midfield finish in a competitive handicap at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) eight days ago; could improve for that run and the drop back to 5f; unexposed and he's an interesting contender.

Improved with each of his 3yo starts, getting off the mark in a 5f novice at Southwell last September; ran creditably in Dubai earlier in the year without looking ahead of his mark; returns to action in a tough race and the new visor needs to have a positive effect.
