Form & Verdict
Picked up for 42,000gns last autumn from Charlie Johnston and has proved hard to place this season, coming 9lb down the weights; first run in a sprint for his current yard and would want to see some support this time.

2-11, with the latest of those wins coming over C&D in August off a 2lb lower mark than today; below his best over 7f next time but bounced back with a solid effort at Southwell (6f, AW); contender but his hold-up style means things need to drop right.

Hard to predict and a 6f win at Chelmsford in August was followed by a poor run over 7f here 11 days later; needs to bounce back but perhaps the return to this distance will help.

Tried over 1m4f by Simon Pearce and is having a first go in a sprint tonight having been said to have run freely last time (when turned out quickly under a penalty; 8.3f); faces a different test in a first-time tongue-tie stepping up from 0-55 company.

Now 1lb lower than for his Chelmsford win (7f, AW) last summer and he showed signs of a revival when fourth of ten over C&D (33-1) two weeks ago; ties in with Rebel Path on that form and he's not ruled out with cheekpieces added.
