Disappointing maiden who was turned over as favourite four times on the spin for Clive Cox earlier in the year; has run poorly in three starts for this yard and is hard to recommend on just this second try at 5f.

0-8; keeping-on Lingfield Polytrack third (6f) in April hasn't been built upon twice since on Tapeta or (latest, here) quick turf; peak efforts all at 6f, so this first drop to the minimum isn't necessarily a plus.

Ended his time with Amanda Perrett by refusing to race twice and he repeated the antics in one racecourse visit for Ian McInnes in December; has not beaten a rival in three runs for new yard; may come good off a lowly mark with headgear returned but can't be supported with confidence.
