0-9 but he's on a handy mark on his best turf form and, having been gelded, he was a good second at Lingfield (6f, AW) ten days ago; could be in the mix if conditions suit (was below par on fast ground two starts ago).

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten fourth in first-time blinkers at Sandown (7f, good) a fortnight ago but the headgear is left off today and two starts ago he was a close third at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) when losing two places close home; could be suited by the drop back to sprinting and he's a possible.

Didn't cope with soft ground on seasonal/handicap debut in April but his close third (just behind Taritino) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago was much better; 1lb lower here and the first-time blinkers might give him a boost.
