Regressive maiden (5f-7f) who's been tried in two forms of headgear; runs in his first classified, he usually over-races and can miss the kick, so will never come without risk.

Broke duck in 6f classified event on this track (good to firm) in July and ran as well as could have been expected in a better race here last month; back at the right level when on the heels of Roman Spring and Dreambird Dolly at Windsor recently and it should be close between them again.

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.
