Two 6f wins (both on good) last summer but unable to maintain progress and he was tried in cheekpieces last September; never involved on recent comeback at Newmarket but he may come on plenty on just his second run since wind surgery with a tongue-tie fitted.

Two 6f wins last summer; not at his best at Chester when last seen but he was drawn wide and there were possible trip/ground excuses too (wore cheekpieces which are absent today); has undergone wind surgery over the winter; returns for a stable ticking along nicely; may have more to offer.

Odds-on when easily winning a Haydock nursery (6f, good) and so nearly won another when again short odds on fast ground at Ascot; not disgraced in two sales races since then but has a wide draw to contend with here on his first run at 5f; tries cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Won on debut at Southwell (5f, AW) in April; didn't build on that when fourth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) but suffered some interference and his breeding suggests he'll be suited by the step up to 6f on nursery debut.

Record of 3-8 last year for Karl Burke and ran well in Newmarket contest (7f, good to firm) on final start; sold for 60,000gns since; the market signals may help to ascertain whether he'll return in the same form.
