Possesses form lines with a number of these, including Maynora, Henriette Ronner, and Popty Ping; 2-2 over C&D (nose win and a dead-heat) and was bang there until the final furlong (fourth) at Doncaster 11 days ago; likely player.

Beaten a nose by stablemate Surgeon Commander over C&D in January; won off a 4lb lower mark at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, and on the premises twice since, backing out of contention only late on at Carlisle (fourth) ten days ago; task isn't impossible.

Form & Verdict
Rewarded strong market support back from a gelding operation when asserting late on at Lingfield (7f) a fortnight ago; raced too freely out wide when only fourth over 1m there last week; worth another chance back at 7f with first-time cheekpieces (replacing visor) combined with the tongue-tie this time.

Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way.

Emphatic winner in first-time visor for Joseph Parr at Lingfield (7f) in January and signed off for him with two pretty good fourths on Polytrack in February/March; subsequently changed hands for 2,800gns; big player if he responds well to first-time blinkers on stable debut.
