Form & Verdict
Modest in his first five starts but responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces and step up in trip when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; 6lb higher but he took that race with some authority so is high on list if the headgear works again.

Both wins were on AW last summer when trained by Hugo Palmer; decent second at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month but below that level at Carlisle and Ripon since; hard to fancy.

Two AW wins for Hugo Palmer last season (1m, 8.5f); finished last on first two starts for new yard but a switch to blinkers prompted shock return to form when 80-1 and second of seven at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last Monday; interesting to see if the aids work a second time.

Hooded all starts, showing promise when fourth of eight on his Chelmsford debut (1m2f, Polytrack) in March, but not matching it in two starts on turf (1m, good to firm) since; hopes pinned on the return to the AW and switch to a handicap galvanising him.
