Has had excuses with one thing and another since an easy comeback win over 6f here off 1lb lower in the spring, latterly when getting buzzed up after being hampered early; longer trip not assured on pedigree (dam produced only sprinters) but she's capable of going well if seeing it out.

Promise in maiden/novice company and he was sent off the well-backed favourite in a Wolverhampton nursery four weeks ago (7f; cheekpieces first time); could only manage sixth there having helped force a strong pace and strong suspicion he's better than this mark; drop to 6f could help and a change of headgear could prompt further progress.
