Six-race maiden but he's finished runner-up five times and hit a personal best with his strong-finishing second here (6f) on stable debut last month; sets a useful standard on that form and he's a big player on this step up to 7f; cheekpieces added.

Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more.
