Maiden has been a bit of a heartbreaker but this type often pop up when most have lost faith in them; made the frame six times this year; often doesn't find much off it but well drawn and not beaten far on both starts here.

Good effort in second spot behind Rockbury Lad (gave 1lb) last week, but more went right than wrong for him on that occasion and once again came up a small bit short; often flatters to deceive but at the same time, sound each-way claims, albeit from a bad draw.
