9st 5lb

J: Cieren Fallon

T: James Owen

Ran well for close second over 8.6f at Wolverhampton in December; beaten favourite twice since but there have been possible excuses, as he likely did too much too soon over 9.4f back there on the first occasion and his rider lost an iron at the start (not regained for a number of strides) over C&D since; withdrawn from an intended start last month after refusing to go in the stalls; the Wolverhampton second is solid form and he might be worth another chance.

Won twice last year, notably a 1m6f handicap at Ascot in July off a 1lb lower mark; well held in five starts since December but this trip more suitable than those he has been tackling and the return of the tongue tie could help; betting should be revealing.

Effective here; finished strongly when upped to 1m6f for his win at Ascot last July; absent 167 days afterwards and beat a total of one rival in his three races this winter but they were over just 1m-1m2f, when an outsider, and he should be vastly more interesting on this first crack at 2m.
