Form & Verdict

Has failed to land a blow in three 1m races on turf last August-October (best form on second start); gelded since; others have more solid claims but there's a great deal of promise for this sort of trip in his good pedigree and he is very much one to note on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict

Beaten a neck at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) on debut last August; while neither of his subsequent starts lived up to that, it does look as if he will stay this trip; gelded since and makes handicap debut.

Form & Verdict

Found stacks of improvement when upped to 1m4f at Wolverhampton on handicap debut last month, justifying 6-4 favouritism by 4l, and he also had plenty in hand when following up at 1-4 over 9.4f there ten days later; another 9lb higher today (15lb higher than first win) but he's probably a fair bit better than that as well.

Fourth over 7f-9.4f on AW on all three starts this winter, probably showing the most promise on second occasion; gelded since latest and makes handicap debut, with new trip plausible on pedigree; needs a market check.
