Form & Verdict

Opened his account in Newmarket contest (good to soft) six weeks ago, seeming well suited by the step back up to 1m2f; this 3yo colt is unexposed at the trip and may show further progress.

Consistent efforts on AW in the spring but has lost his form this summer, taking record since debut win to 0-16; not the percentage call.

Regained the winning thread at Epsom (first 1m4f attempt) last time; however, faces a tougher task back up 5lb and perhaps isn't crying out for the return to 1m2f.
