Beaten a long way in 3 handicaps this year but his latest effort in first-time headgear when fourth at Hamilton (8.3f, good) represented a step back in the right direction. Back up in distance but remains tough to support.
|
Fair form shown on all 3 starts, latest when going down by just a short head at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut and could make his presence felt.
|
Made an encouraging start on the turf when third at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago, especially given he wasn't seen to best effect having been shuffled back after 4f. Hood goes back on and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet.
|
Comes here in good nick, making the frame in each of his last 3 starts. More needed if he's to open his account.
|
Made a complete mess of the start (forfeited at least 6 lengths) but that wasn't enough to stop him opening his account at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Just 2 lb higher for that success so fancied to be bang there again despite his antics at the start.
|
Has failed to kick on this year, finishing a well-beaten fourth of 5 in maiden at Brighton (8f, good) 25 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor, but it remains easy enough to look elsewhere.
|
Completely went the wrong way after his debut last year and makes return for a new yard after 10 months off. This should reveal where he's at.
|
Has just the one standout effort and finished well held on handicap debut at Newbury (10f, good) when last seen 9 weeks ago. Needs to show more.
|
Made much more impact than previously in first-time cheekpieces just 4 days on from a disappointing handicap debut when 2 lengths third of 8 to I Still Have Faith at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Can be in the shake-up again.
|
Ran creditably having first try at this trip when runner-up at Brighton just under 6 weeks ago. Will likely need some respite from the handicapper before shedding his maiden tag.

Forecasts
I Still Have Faith (15/8), Moush (11/2), Kodiman (6/1), Ala Kaifi (13/2), Twoforthegutter (9/1), Twilight Guest (10/1), Major Major (12/1), Bohemian Breeze (14/1), Another Dimension (22/1), Clenched (80/1)
This can go the way of I STILL HAVE FAITH, who got off the mark in remarkable fashion at Nottingham a fortnight ago (blew the start and forfeited at least 6 lengths). Nudged up a just a couple of pounds, he's fancied to double his tally at the expense of Kodiman, who wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield last month and should have more to offer. Ala Kaifi and Moush can do battle for third spot.
