Form & Verdict
Flopped badly over 1m3f at Southwell last month and is not an easy one to predict on this first attempt at today's much longer trip, but he seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when clear third at Southwell two starts ago and is of significant interest if judged on that performance.

A maiden after seven runs but he seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when clear third over C&D last month; never really had a good track position that day and the form has worked out very well; big player if the headgear continues to aid him.

Quite short in the betting for all his handicaps (1m2f-1m3f+) but couldn't manage anything better than eighth; it could be that he has more ability than he's letting on and blinkers may help.
