Weakened when he tackled 2m7f/3m last year but he stayed on well for third over the extended 2m5f at Ayr (heavy) recently when wearing first-time cheekpieces; well worth another go at a staying trip and this lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer in the headgear.

Well beaten at Hereford (2m7f, good to soft) last March and same story on reappearance here (3m, good to soft) in October; needs to get back on track but the first-time cheekpieces could help and this lightly raced 6yo is of interest judged on his third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last February.
