T: Lizzie Quinlan

Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark.

Form & Verdict
Took a long time to get off the mark but the win came in dogged fashion at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August and he ran just as well when third there (1m, good) two weeks later; has shown his form on soft ground and he ought to be in the thick of things again.
