Form & Verdict
Showed ability on his first two starts last year and heavy ground can be blamed for a poor run at Goodwood in September; beat only one rival home on his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) but that was his reappearance, and his pedigree suggests this longer trip could suit; cheekpieces added.

Bought for 20,000gns out of Andrew Balding's yard after winning off 5lb lower at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces); ran okay at Sandown but no more than that in a small field over 1m6f; his new rider will have to navigate from the widest stall.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when making all in first-time cheekpieces off 6lb lower at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) 26 days ago; has since left Andrew Balding (bought for 20,000gns) and this well-bred gelding steps up in trip for his stable debut.

Won a handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) in October off a mark 4lb lower than today's but he's been below that level in two starts this year, latest at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; steps up in trip with stamina to prove.

His nursery win (sole success) was on soft but conditions were good to firm when second to Last Verse in a small field at Chepstow (1m4f), since when he's finished tailed off here after suffering early interference; needs his best form yet even if putting best foot forward.

2yo win was over 1m on soft at a stiff track and he was stepped up to 1m4f when second of four at Chepstow (good to firm) on latest outing, his best show this term; needs to build on that but he saw the trip out very well and could have more in the tank.

Showed improved form in first-time blinkers when a good second at Salisbury (1m2f, good) in May and he's posted two respectable efforts since, albeit he didn't look to relish this the step up to this trip at Newmarket two weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Best effort for Brian Meehan came over 1m2f (managed second) and was last seen stretching out to 1m4f; changed hands for 14,000gns this month; this won't take much winning and a positive market move would look significant; goes without headgear.
