Can miss the break and/or pull hard but everything panned out when finally winning in a C&D 0-50 classified event a month ago; said to have been suited by being ridden more prominently that day and this no tougher if he can reproduce the effort.

A maiden after 28 starts, with tendencies to start slowly and race too freely, but has made the frame on his last five appearances, including two seconds in this grade at Brighton (6f, good to firm) this summer; fine over 7f and a likely contender once again; has tried various headgear combinations this year; goes in just the refitted cheekpieces today.
