Rather disappointing since starting off for Michael Wigham with two 7f seconds in the spring but ran okay 16 days ago and can be dangerous off current mark if first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect.

Failed to get home over 1m last time; justified favouritism over C&D (good to firm) earlier in August, taking his 7f record to 331, and the runner-up gives that form a solid look; respected back in this scenario.
