Form & Verdict
Disappointing during four-race spell over hurdles for an Irish stable this year but belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on third for new yard at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago; still well handicapped on older form and should be fine back at 1m; no surprise if he features.

Two good runs from two for this yard, particularly when finding just a very good yardstick and a next-time-out winner too strong over C&D first time; in the mix under Daniel Tudhope, especially if first-time cheekpieces give him a lift.

Ten-race maiden; seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when fourth at Redcar (7f, good) last month, his third start for Noel Wilson, but suffered a heavy defeat a fortnight ago and now has it all to prove again; cheekpieces (worn once in April) tried again.

Yet to master the start; it was seventh-time lucky over 1m here this month and quickly bounced back from a soft-ground disappointment to be third under same conditions as win last week; extra furlong here gives him more time to catch up; not ruled out.
