Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 13-2 or shorter on eight occasions, mainly over 5f; headgear goes back on as he returns to 6f but he's often pulled hard in the hood and can miss the break, so there are risks involved.

Impressive when off the mark at Southwell eight days ago in first-time cheekpieces; fairly treated under a penalty and too soon to say he's not as good on turf but 6f on Tapeta evidently suits well, and he'll need to settle on his first crack at 7f from stall 11.
