Nearly defied a mammoth absence at Newbury; every chance if as good again

Respectable run in the new tongue-tie last time and cheekpieces are now added

The absence is a worry but having cheekpieces back on is probably a good thing

Never threatened to justify favouritism back at Lingfield in April but ran okay

Should be on a good mark but he was tailed off at 40-1 here only 22 days ago
NR (5)	Johnjay Bay J:TBC T:Roger Teal	J: T:Roger Teal	124	—	330-31	61	83	63	16d	—	—	—	2.8	—	—
A long time between drinks but he snapped his losing run with a strong finish at Brighton
