Built on his stable debut when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) in June and followed up next time over that same C&D, taking his record in headgear to 3-3 (won in first-time blinkers for Roger Varian); 3lb higher but respected on his return to the AW.

Signed off for Roger Varian with a victory at Newcastle (1m AW) in first-time blinkers; shaped okay on yard debut when in no headgear at Kempton (1m) and could be a factor now tried in cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Tended to stick to slow turf/Polytrack; missed a year after finishing lame last June and was entitled to have needed his comeback, when third to Grey Soul over C&D; hit traffic late that day and is 2lb better off, so there's a fair chance he turns things round.

Scored over 1m on Polytrack in May and placed twice behind same progressive rival over that trip on turf at Ffos Las last month; benefits from Mason Paetel's useful 5lb claim here and shapes as though well worth a crack at 1m2f; might be the answer.

Looked to find this trip beyond him last month but worth another try over it on latest Chepstow evidence (7f, soft); on a workable mark again now, having missed a lot of last year for Ralph Beckett.

Gina Mangan picked up a 12-day ban when this 4yo was given a lot to do at Ffos Las and he then won by a length under Oisin Murphy here over 1m; has never raced beyond that trip but gives the impression he'll stay this far; up in class off a 5lb higher mark.

Novice winner for previous yard; 0-6 for current stable but ran encouragingly, despite being left with plenty to do, in last two starts; caught the attention of the stewards at Ffos Las (1m) latest; interesting with Oisin Murphy up for first time, assuming the cards drop right.

Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so.

He was back up to 1m (turf) when a well-backed favourite last time, but looked to have no excuses in finishing last of six; trainer has won with three of his last five runners, two at big prices, but this gelding has stamina to prove over this far.
