Seems ideally suited by 6f at Southwell and he was still in contention when badly hampered there in March; this mark not beyond him but he's yet to shine in three turf appearances.

Went close over C&D last month and was a fair fourth at Southwell (first-time cheekpieces) last time; hard to rule out a good run with visor now tried but he's not easy to predict and losing run is mounting up.

Form & Verdict
Lightly-raced 4yo who made an encouraging stable debut at Thirsk two weeks ago (6f, good to soft), racing away from the rail but keeping on stoutly behind a well-handicapped winner; 2lb higher but still has potential as a sprinter and getting back on faster ground shouldn't be an issue.

Favourite for this race last year but his was one of the stalls to open late and his chance was compromised as a result; solid effort at Doncaster two weeks ago and rider's claim will help offset being 3lb out of the weights; effective on most ground and likely to go well.
