Barbara And Kens Diamond Wedding Anniversary Handicap

Contrasting performances this term for new yard, winning at Redcar then failing to beat a rival at Newmarket; chance of rebound partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Record is only 1-12 and most of his form is over middle distances; however, looks a possible danger at this level provided he's suited by returning to 1m for first time since debut.

Not disgraced in the Victoria Cup last time but, generally speaking, is perhaps still on a difficult mark on turf; gained last three wins on Newcastle AW and has shown peak form there.

Has posted two duck eggs since most recent AW success and latest effort took his turf form figures to 370; not particularly solid kept to this sphere and others are preferred.

Absent and gelded since neck success in C&D maiden (good to firm) last June; his form has substance and further improvement is plausible; interesting on handicap/seasonal debut.
