Form & Verdict
Three of top five RPRs achieved here; shaped better than finishing position suggests at Southwell on Sunday and didn't get the breaks when fourth to Arctic Dawn the time before (C&D); won't really benefit from stall 1 given his style of racing and there isn't loads of pace on paper; wears just a tongue-tie.

Made all in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield in May (7.6f, turf) and has backed that up with three solid placed efforts (7f/7.5f, turf); has won on Polytrack but wide draw might mean he has to use up plenty of gas early; again gave trouble in the stalls when withdrawn at Galway latest (11-2 at the time).
