Both wins on Polytrack (7f/1m) when making all in first-time headgear; currently running well here, however, and he followed a 40-1 second (7f) at the start of last month with a respectable third of 14 (1m) four weeks later; should give it another good go.

Won twice on Polytrack for Charlie Johnston; 0-10 for current yard but a repeat of his second over 7f here four weeks ago would see him on the scene; has won at 1m.

Dual Polytrack winner (7f/1m) for Charlie Johnston whose form in nine starts for this yard has been patchy; neck defeat over 1m here in May came in a slowly run contest and more will be needed to come out best in this.

J: Sean Kirrane

Inconsistent 4yo; well beaten at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) a fortnight ago, but that step up in trip may not have suited; went close at Newcastle (1m, AW) previously and ran well over C&D last May; not written off.
