Best form at about 1m for John Quinn but was hammered at that trip on Newcastle Tapeta in October latest; sold 4,500gns since; not totally forlorn for this trip on pedigree; interesting to see if the market moves.

Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player.

J: Myla Coppins

T: Tony Carroll

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected.

Pedigree is mostly about shorter trips but dam did breed a 1m4f AW winner and this one kept trying when fifth over 1m1f here recently; has a squeak.

Form & Verdict
Latest two wins were at 1m4f, on turf and AW in 2019; has run only five times in the last two years but he went close against an in-form rival at Southwell last month (1m3f) and if he can sustain his form he has a big chance at this level; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces.
