Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player.

Disappointing favourite in first-time blinkers at Bath (11.6f, good) last month but that headgear is dispensed with and cheekpieces return; drops into a 0-55 for the first time and is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July; respected; stable also runs Letsbeatsepsis.

Some promise at a modest level for Charles Hills without winning and was sold on for 7,000gns; down the field in two Flat races for current yard (1m2f/1m3f) and makes very limited appeal on this switch to hurdling.

Eight-race maiden; suggested his turn might be near when second under very positive ride at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in July but two lesser efforts have followed, the latter after he raced too freely in first-time cheekpieces (now removed); has a point to prove.
