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.

Form & Verdict
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.

15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still.
