Form & Verdict

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Ben Haslam

All five turf wins have been gained on galloping sprint courses, and he's netted a neck second (off 64) and a win in handicaps from two C&D starts; yet to pick up a classified in nine attempts, however, and not an unlucky loser in one at Southwell latest despite running short of room.

Multiple 5f/6f winner; has made a promising start to life with Ben Haslam this season, set a lot to do when fourth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap two weeks ago; drops back into classified company now and this C&D scorer merits serious consideration.
