Form & Verdict
Developed into a useful performer on AW this winter, reeling off a five-timer (6f) prior to a good third in Listed company (7f); solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts and too soon to pigeonhole him as an AW specialist given his two turf runs were on soft ground and early in his career; likely vulnerable off topweight all the same.

Has given superb value since the autumn, winning five 6f handicaps on the AW between October and January; even better in turf sprints since, landing a 6f handicap on the Rowley course here (good to firm) and finishing strongly to take second on his side to a handicap blot in the big 5f race at Royal Ascot; rock solid to go well back at 6f.
