Form & Verdict
Showed ability in all four starts as a 2yo over 7f-8.6f on turf/AW and, after having been gelded and undergone wind surgery, he looked in need of his Haydock reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; looks to have a bigger performance in him.

Had wind and gelding operations before reappearance; 6-4 co-favourite for a seven-runner handicap at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) six weeks ago on second run back and improved to win from the front, asserting in clearcut fashion; up 6lb and needs another step forward but that may well be possible.

J: Hector Crouch

Placed twice in the mud last September (made most on second occasion) before running on but never getting in a serious blow when 13-8 favourite for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in November, still looking capable of better; had wind and gelding operations this spring; one to check out for a yard which had two notable well-backed winners last week.

Won his first two AW handicaps (1m/9.5f) earlier in the year and, despite an 8lb rise, he ran well to finish fourth of 14 on turf debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (third has won since); major player.

A different proposition since handicapping, with wins at Chelmsford (1m; dead-heated) in January and Wolverhampton (9.4f) five weeks ago; asserted in good style in the final 1f last time, which has earned him an 8lb rise but this longer trip looks a plus if he proves effective on turf debut.

Best effort when third of 13 in a Wolverhampton maiden (8.6f, AW) for Alice Haynes in October, but two heavy defeats since (including on stable debut) leave her with plenty to prove; cheekpieces given a go on handicap debut and they need to have an effect.

Bumped into one on his handicap debut early in the year before showing the right attitude to win off 1lb lower next time (both Polytrack); didn't look to see out 1m2f on soft ground back from a break recently and holds obvious claims at this lower level.
