Successful handicap debut over 6f on AW in May but has shown better form at 7f, shrugging off some interference to lead close home at Sandown (good) in August; different tactics employed when third of 16 at Newbury later that month but it was still a good effort; one of the better ones.

Record of 2-14 (all without headgear) for current stable; below par the last twice but ran creditably (fourth off 3lb higher) over C&D in October and that form puts him in the picture; assuming he reacts well to reapplied cheekpieces, looks interesting with Oisin Murphy on board.

Blew the start when one of four co-favourites at Lingfield three weeks ago but his two runs before that (7f at Kempton) were perfectly creditable; returning to 1m today looks a positive move and he's now 5lb lower than his last winning mark; interesting contender in first-time headgear.
