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.

Finished well to exploit reduced mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in July and remains well handicapped on older form but was safely held on his last two starts; others have more appealing profiles.

Won from off the pace over C&D (good to firm; effective on softer) before a very disappointing return to this track when 1m2f wasn't to blame; capable but risky.

J: Gina Mangan

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.

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.

Two wins over C&D but his mark suffered after a comfortable win at Sandown (1m, good) around a year ago; handicapper's releasing his grip and last time's fifth at Ffos Las was a step in the right direction, however; might go well.

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.
