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.

Had his yard debut sewn up from some way out on this track (7f, good to firm) in July but subsequently faded over 1m here; on the upgrade on Chelmsford AW since, showing plenty of dash on the drop to 6f but reeled in late, then ridden more patiently and finally getting to the front over 7f there since; has potential back at 6f on return to turf.
