Both wins on AW but very good third (Valedictory second) of 14 to Rathgar (won again since) on 1m2f Newbury reappearance proves he's equally as effective on turf; stays 1m4f and likely to be in the shake-up again if in similar form.

Both wins were on AW and his turf form is not quite as good, but he's basically highly reliable and it would be no surprise if he's seriously involved for yard which won this race last year.

Form & Verdict
Touch disappointing in Sandown handicap last time, failing to build on Pontefract maiden win (1m2f); however, this low-mileage colt has a very useful pedigree that suggests he should do better still; not written off.

Usually held up; third in a 2yo maiden was his sole run on softer than good; can race freely but showed improved form when upped to 2m for wins at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season, and he continued on his upward curve when a close, never-nearer third of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago; retains potential.

Promise in his qualifying races on turf, followed by two underwhelming runs in handicaps but he then delivered an improved show in nine-runner race at Kempton (upped to 2m, AW) four weeks ago, coming through strongly from last to first; 3lb higher today but he has more to offer as a stayer.
