Form & Verdict
He ran his best race to date when second of nine in a 1m Class 6 handicap at Redcar 16 days ago (well clear of the third); dropping back to 7f shouldn't be an issue and he's more appealing than most.

12-race maiden, runner-up twice last August (1m and 7f; here on first occasion); soft ground and 1m2f/1m4f may well make the heavy defeats in his two starts this season forgivable; could be a lot more interesting today, although connections also now reach for headgear first time.

A dual C&D scorer last autumn; yet to hit top form this term but he wasn't best drawn when eighth of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap in February; possibilities from an easing mark after a break.

Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last year and was a close third at Newcastle (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in November; held in sixth at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on his return from a break last time, and better is needed.

Form & Verdict
Showed very little on his sole 2yo outing but he took a big step forward when winning at 40-1 at Redcar on his reappearance 16 days ago (7f, good to firm); while that form is nothing special, it is still good enough to make him a contender in a novice lacking depth.

Only 2lb higher than for his front-running win at Chelmsford in July but he hasn't matched it in three runs since, including back at Chelmsford 17 days ago; others appeal more.

Ran up a five-timer here early in the year (1m3f-today's trip), latterly off an 8lb mark; raced freely down to 1m last time and will need to settle better going right back up in distance, especially into a small field.

He hasn't looked back since stepping up to middle distances, winning five times here this year from 1m3f to 2m; ran right up to his best when second at Newcastle three weeks ago and still has time to do better; whether he'll have the pace to cope with the return to 1m is a moot point though.
