Drawn a blank since winning first three starts for Roger Varian but surely would have put that right over C&D (good) last time with more luck in running, going down by only a head despite being repeatedly denied a run in the penultimate furlong; might need the breaks if he's dropped in from the outside stall but still has to be high on the list.

Hold-up performer who was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; proved himself at 7f when his strong finish only just failed to reel in the thriving Goldmoyne (won three times since) back at Southwell last time; it's likely he's still on a good mark.
