The dangerously well-treated Englishman did too much too soon last time out, so now fitted with the blinkers for the first time looks worth an each-way wager at 16/1 in the 7.20 at Wolverhampton today.
This Milton Bradley trained nine-year-old landed back-to-back class 4 contests last year at Windsor and Gooodwood, scoring off marks of 77 and 79 respectively.
He also ran very well in a class 3 at Neamarket whne a neck runner-up to Ice Lord off 80.
The veteran has been hit and miss this year, but did run well when a 3 1/2 length third to Rawayyat at Lingfield in July off 63 and when a 1 1/2 length third at Chelmsford foru starts back off 55.
Enlgishman is now able to race off 52, a massive 28lb lower than when last victorious and a career-low.
It makes him a player from a handicapping perspective in this class 6 affair – a grade in which he has raced just five times.
He also sgaped better tahn the bare result last tie out at Kempton when tanking along on the heels of the leaders and looking to hold every chance two from home before weakening to finish a 5 1/2 length sixth of 12 to Mercers.
That showed the fire remaine, and if the new headgear has the desired effect he looks capable of a big on the pick of his form if ridden with a bit more restraint.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts each-way Englishman (16/1 generally available – use BOG firms)
