Form & Verdict

J: Rossa Ryan

Six-race maiden for two different yards but he ran into some trouble when a fair third in Ffos Las handicap (5f, good to soft) last month; dropped another 2lb and he could be dangerous on this step back up in trip.

Promising runs for David Menuisier whom he left for 9,000gns; gelded ahead of stable debut at Wolverhampton where he was beaten 7l in a small field; may have needed that after a lengthy break and there are races in him.

Made the frame in three of his four starts on turf (5f/6f) for David Menuisier as a 2yo; changed hands for 9,000gns in October and makes his stable/handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and the market should be informative.

Made some progress in each of his runs last season (5f/6f) and was always likely to be seen to better effect once entering handicaps; this step up in trip should be a further plus; the market could be revealing after a lengthy break.

Off the mark with a 5f win at Chelmsford in December; added a turf success at Bath in April (5f, good) and he is only 2lb higher today; two defeats since have come in stronger company and Billy Loughnane has been on board for both wins (from three rides on him); good chance.

Landed a maiden at Catterick (5f, soft) last October and eyecatching handicap debut when beaten a head at Bath (5.5f, good) on seasonal return in May despite being unruly beforehand; left Robert Cowell subsequently; satisfactory stable debut when third of seven at Windsor (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; needs to settle better but should not be far away.
