Made an encouraging nursery debut when third here (7f) in August but he failed to build on that at Beverley (8.4f) last month; the soft ground may have been an issue last time but he hasn't progressed so far and others preferred; cheekpieces added.

Seven races last year for David Loughnane and sole win in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW) in October in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept when never dangerous in his two starts since; latest was stable/seasonal debut (25-1) and maybe he needed that run, but others have more pressing claims.
