Very well handicapped on pick of last year's sprint form for Richard Spencer but last month's stable debut was very disappointing and he has stamina to prove on this first 7f attempt; headgear removed.

Did not get competitive at York a fortnight ago but was unlucky not to finish much closer than ninth there (7f, good to firm) on his seasonal debut, and this dual C&D winner has slipped to a very tempting mark.
