Ex-Irish maiden who is untested beyond 6f and was unable to land a telling blow on either start for new stable this spring; today's step up in trip is an interesting move but the others all have much less to prove.

Acts on soft, probably on heavy; second here (1m4f) in May and never better than when winning at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on latest start; came from the back under Frederick Larson on both occasions and 1m6f now looks worth this first attempt.

One of his two wins at 1m last season came here and he was in a consistent run of form until finishing tailed off at Doncaster a month ago; chance if back on song, though wouldn't want too much rain.

Form & Verdict
Gained all five wins on AW but lost out only by a head when clear second off his lower turf mark at Lingfield (7f, good to firm; refitted cheekpieces) a fortnight ago; went up 3lb for that and the headgear is left off here, but he still features prominently in calculations.
