Form & Verdict
Beat Leadenhall Street (and a couple of other next-time-out winners) when winning a Kempton novice in January; only fifth at Lingfield on his nursery debut two weeks ago but that track perhaps not ideal; gets 6lb from Leadenhall Street this time and he's one to be interested in.

Upped his game following a gelding operation last summer, winning over C&D in September before making giant strides on AW; returned from a break to do best of the rest behind runaway winner Double Rush over C&D 17 days ago; could have a nice prize in him this year but the 5lb turnaround with Double Rush may be insufficient.
