Exposed maiden but he bounced back to form when fifth at Catterick tried in cheekpieces 16 days ago (5f, good), forced to coast home in the final 50yds having been short of room when still bang there; chance if the headgear works a second time.

Form & Verdict
Two quiet runs to start the campaign but he bounced back to form when narrowly failing to peg back an in-form opponent over 5f at Ripon ten days ago (for today's jockey); has a C&D win on his record and he's one to consider off what is a favourable mark.

Inconsistent and can have issues in the stalls, which proved a problem when a well-beaten favourite at Beverley on Wednesday (reared at the start and blindfold was removed late); however, he's well handicapped on last year's two fast-ground wins and is capable of a bold show.
