Seems more effective on AW (3-4) than turf (1-9) and finished down the field in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (14-1) five weeks ago; now has cheekpieces to accompany the usual tongue-strap.

Only 1-8 on turf but appears to hold a fighting chance with Jack Callan's useful 5lb claim offsetting a penalty for a game success at Newcastle (1m) that took his AW record to 3-4; may do better still for current yard.
