Made it 2-8 when scoring in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month, but that was a very narrow success and she didn't really fire off this revised mark at Thirsk last time.

One of his four wins for earlier trainers came over C&D; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season but he ran off 68 on the first of them and gets in here off just 54; interesting to see if there is any market support with headgear returning.

Found some momentum last backend and returned with a win over this trip at Thirsk (soft), making all and holding on by a length; 5lb higher with Zak Wheatley again on board; good ground won't harm and he should be in the thick of it.
