Finished eighth in two runs in France last year (not beaten far on debut) but he was out the back at 125-1 in a 7f novice here on his stable debut three weeks ago (Midnight Drive fourth); this should be more suitable but there are risks involved.

Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps.

Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most.

Modest form in three runs in novice and maiden company, beaten 17l when third of four at Wolverhampton in February; cheekpieces worn for those qualifying runs are now replaced by new blinkers; has been gelded; others look much safer.
