Made all in a Wolverhampton novice (6f, AW) in June and he's finished runner-up on his last two starts, including when wearing first-time cheekpieces in a handicap over this C&D three weeks ago; well drawn to sit handy and has claims.

J: Hector Crouch

T: William Haggas

His run of solid placed efforts (including over C&D in April) hit the buffers when he finished well adrift in first-time cheekpieces (subsequently removed) on his penultimate start; had a pace excuse when held up in a slowly run race at Kempton last time, however, and there's nothing wrong with this mark.

Narrowly beaten on three of his four starts since being gelded, going down on the nod at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on latest; should go close again off an unchanged mark, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect.
