Form & Verdict
17-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway on his stable/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; was only beaten around 4l in that race and he could be dangerous back up in trip and down in grade; cheekpieces reapplied.

Won over C&D (good to firm) in July and respectable third of six over C&D (good to firm) later that month; didn't see out 1m4f at Newmarket in August and he might not be far away now back down in trip.

Has a patchy profile but he won a Newcastle handicap (1m4f, AW) in January and was a close fourth on his Musselburgh reappearance (12.4f, good) last month; this is a deeper race but has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.
