Form & Verdict

Had dropped to a good mark prior to making all in a lower grade at Sandown (1m, good to firm); solid chance off 3lb lower and goes on all ground.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent and he blew the start here two runs ago, but with the visor left off (same today) he returned to form with a good second over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; can be in the mix if backing up that latest run.

J: Joe Leavy

Somewhat mixed this year but he ran two good races at Sandown in midsummer (1m, good to firm) when the visor was discarded, putting up stout resistance against Marsh Benham in July; not so good since but he's weighted to reverse those placings if he's on his game.

Sole win from 15 starts came at Vichy (7f, very soft) when trained in France; has returned to form since having the headgear removed, finishing runner-up at Sandown (1m, good to firm) on two occasions, including when narrowly ahead of Great Blasket last time; makes the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Changed hands for 9,000gns last month and comfortably exploited a reduced mark on last Thursday's stable debut at Nottingham (1m, good to firm), where he was odds-on in a first-time visor (retained); this C&D winner is ahead of the handicapper under a penalty and should be tough to beat.

Visored for the first time when making a winning stable debut at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) last month and, although a beaten short-price favourite, posted another solid effort under a penalty at Sandown (1m); now 2lb higher but remains fairly treated on older form.
