Hiked in the weights after winning easily in first-time blinkers at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in July; failed to make presence felt since (7.5f-1m2f) but fine on soft ground and a change of headgear might help.

Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked.

Form & Verdict
Travelled strongly when scoring for the third time here (1m2f, good to firm; from 4lb lower) on penultimate start; disappointing back over 1m4f on soft here latterly but return to this trip can suit and is 1-2 for Sean D Bowen; drying ground would aid chance.

0-12 under all codes but didn't run badly when back on the Flat for recent stable debut, finishing fourth in heavy-ground C&D contest dominated by Zambezi Magic; sports first-time cheekpieces today and could plausibly be seen to better effort on the less testing ground.
