Form & Verdict
Bounced back from a disappointing handicap debut on turf with a win over C&D last October; weakened to finish well held on 1m3f York reappearance 13 days ago but it's possible this lightly raced 4yo simply needed that first outing for eight months (gelded).

Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term.

Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack.

Looked very much one to follow after winning his final three runs last term (1m, good to firm/good to soft); that hasn't been the case but he was beaten just a nose at Hamilton (1m, good) two starts ago and perhaps the first-time blinkers will prompt a bigger performance; unproven on soft/heavy.

Made it 3-3 since being gelded (good to firm/good to soft) when winning by 3l at Haydock (1m) last October; reappeared with respectable seventh of 21 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and this lightly raced 4yo could build on that latest effort today; firmly in calculations.
