J: Shane Gray

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Made the breakthrough with cheekpieces added at Redcar (7f, good) in May and he backed that up with a close third of 15 at Doncaster last month; up another 2lb but he still has low mileage and is open to more progress in 7f handicaps; interesting contender.

Only run in sprints to date (dam was a sprinter who's produced sprinters), including three times round here; better effort in first-time cheekpieces on his comeback but failed to build on that in 0-55 company last time.

Picked up from Des Donovan last autumn for 7,750gns following a couple of costly defeats in nurseries; two poor efforts for this yard leave him hard to recommend as he drops from 1m in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces on his comeback).
