Seems to go on most ground and made it 21st-time lucky with a short-head success from The Bureau Club over C&D this month; 4lb out of the weights so 7lb higher, which may be enough to anchor him.

Seemingly boosted by new cheekpieces when scoring at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, opening her account at the 13th attempt; this return to 1m won't be a problem and she could have more to offer in headgear.
