Form & Verdict
Off the mark on his nursery debut at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) in August, narrowly holding off Roysdelight; overdid things early at Bath the following month, after which he was gelded; could help tee this up for a closer now switched to AW.

Front-runner who's resumed better than ever, backing up his Bath win with a Windsor near-miss off 1lb lower (inclined to hang left); might have been better drawn but can't be discounted for a yard that's won with four of its last five runners.
