Form & Verdict
Won junior bumper (1m5f) on debut last October; came up short in stronger bumpers on next two starts before his attentions were switched to Flat racing last month; latest staying-on second at Lingfield (11.5f) saw him finish in front of two of today's rivals; still has potential in this code.

Fairly useful Flat racer; runner-up on first three hurdle starts (all 2m) before cruising clear in four-runner Ascot maiden (2m3f, good) last month; could easily have more improvement to come in handicap hurdles; interesting.

Disappointing at odds-on in November in his first bumper and pulled up the following month in his second; left Andrew Balding and although an 8l defeat in maiden here (11.4f, good; 100-1) in May was more positive, that was good enough for only seventh of nine; needs vastly better.

Promising debut when second in a 7f maiden here last August and a ready win at Windsor (1m) last September has a solid look to it; bred to relish middle distances and he's a fascinating contender despite the penalty and an absence.
