Poor form in three sprint runs this summer; bred to be useful and fetched 50,000gns as a breezer so possible there's more to come now tackling a more suitable trip on his handicap debut; new accessories today too.

J: Ryan Kavanagh

T: Ian Williams

Five of his six wins have come on AW; didn't look straightforward without usual hood or tongue-tie (back on here) when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; two things in his favour here are that he is the only distance winner in the field and this represents a drop in grade, so he needs to be considered seriously.
