Beaten favourite in a 7f novice at Catterick before predictably struggling in a Class 4 handicap at York (7f, good; first-time cheekpieces); now 0-9 and the headgear is soon discarded; others preferred.

Returned to form with a win in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (7f, good) 12 days ago; did it with something to spare and a 4lb rise may not stop him if the headgear maintains its positive effect.

His sole success came at Doncaster (7f) on good to soft ground last July and he stepped up on a couple of modest efforts this term when fairly close fifth of 12 over that C&D (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; has dropped to a workable mark and may have a say if widest stall proves no barrier.

Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list.
