LH - 5131O1P3
RH - 11111U3
Looks good on paper - his unseating was when held behind Deep Purple at Huntingdon whilst the third was when attempting to concede 2 stone all round at Fontwell on his latest start.
First Time Out - 511
Won on his season return for the past two seasons - the fifth placed finishing was also his rules debut in a bumper at Chepstow (record at the track 511).
He's yet to race at Exeter but the track should suit him and the long straight will help him.
Record on Soft - 11O11 (ran out at the last at Cheltenham when going ok).
He's yet to race over a trip this short which for me would be the only doubt but he beat the Champion Chase runner-up Forpadydeplasterer over 2 1/2m on his return last season so I'd expect a bold show for his new stable (another positive IMO) with the only other possible negative bar the trip is the presence of other front runners in the race (providing new connections employ the usual tactics).
At 33/1 he's well worth a bet each-way for one of his profile and with just the five of the nine horses in the handicap.
