Debut second at Brighton was promising but he hasn't progressed since, including when 11th of 14 on his nursery debut two weeks ago (7f, AW; blinkered first time); dropped 4lb but others look more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Made all for a decisive C&D novice win in December; possibly a bit too free when turned over as favourite at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) next time but went close back here (5f) latest, when the front pair were clear; up 2lb for last time but unexposed and a major player.

Made all in a 6f novice at Southwell in good style on his stable debut in December; creditable efforts in handicaps since and returning to 5f shouldn't be an issue; not discounted.

Ex-Irish gelding who made all in Southwell novice event (6f) on AW/stable debut; subsequent effort suggests this return to 5f is worth a go; may do better still in this sphere.

J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

Signs of ability first two starts but appeared to take a step forward for being gelded, clinging on by a fast-diminishing margin at Lingfield (6f maiden; 11-8 favourite) latest; that form has received a boost but this opening mark isn't a gimme and this stiff track also provides a sterner test.
