Failed to win for William Knight (0-7), beaten at odds-on at Yarmouth (1m2f classified) on final start for that trainer; visor (worn twice) has yielded some improvement; wise to monitor this 7,000gns purchase on stable debut.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Knight

0-6 but he found improvement upped to 1m2f when runner-up in a classified event at Lingfield (good; first-time visor) last week; that was behind a rival who was completing a four-timer and he's a big player if he can build on that.

Form & Verdict
Doesn't win very often (3-36) but has two wins at this track, the latest a similar event (1m2f, AW) in January; has run creditably since until taking a dip when eighth of 15 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month on his return to turf; has the form to run well here if putting his best foot forward.
