Form & Verdict
Did well to finish third on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last September and built on that to make all at Ayr (6f, soft) in October; carries a penalty on his first run since but he brings potential to his 3yo campaign and he's a likeable prospect; firmly in calculations.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Record of 4-15 overall and 2-5 since wearing visor; campaigned exclusively over shorter but the manner of his half-length success in big field at York (7f, good) last time suggests this new trip is worth exploring; enters calculations in the retained headgear.

Limited impact in handicaps since winning a four-runner C&D maiden in November and he let his many supporters down when flopping on return visit here last time; continues to fall down the weights so interesting to see if his backers return.
