Form & Verdict
Often fluffs the start but kept on from a difficult position at Wolverhampton most recently and remains handicapped to win when the cards drop right; defied a 5lb higher mark over C&D in 2021; the latest effort suggested he'll be suited by headgear (cheekpieces applied this time); closely matched with Wannabe Brave on course running in November; good chance.

T: Mark Loughnane

Habitual slow-starter who ran as well as could have been expected over C&D last time after fluffing the stalls completely; that was better on his second run back from a break and he's on his last winning mark, so he's a player if getting away fairly.

Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered.

Form & Verdict
Narrowly justified favouritism in similar event over C&D when last seen 65 days ago, opening his account at the fifth attempt; had little to spare but he's still very unexposed at this trip and looks the type to improve further; respected off 3lb higher.

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip.

Consistent maiden who has form at up to 1m6f; respectable third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton most recently; not one to support heavily, with record now 0-16, but this new trip may prompt enough improvement to record a first success; one of his siblings scored at up to 2m.
