Form & Verdict
Hooded all three runs; third at Kempton (6f, AW) and Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) on first two starts, front-running in the latter and his best form; raced too freely in front at Epsom (7f, good) on latest outing, hanging left and turned over at 1-3, but even that gives him leading form claims.

Hung sharply left but stuck on well to prevail in 3yo handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) five weeks ago, proving suited by the return to 7f for the first time this term; below par back over that C&D (good to soft, likely softer) last Saturday but he raced freely and had a possible ground excuse; could bounce back.

Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting.

Has plenty of ability, as shown particularly on second and latest starts; in the latter he was fourth of 18 in a valuable 7f nursery at York; probably on the premises but may well be vulnerable again.
