Form & Verdict
Didn't have to improve to reward odds-on backers in a 7f maiden at Catterick in May; creditable fifth in a 1m handicap at Goodwood two weeks ago and the return to 7f in a slightly weaker race should see him on the premises.

Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off nine rivals at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; those in behind who've run since haven't done much for the form but he's a 3yo on the up.

Two narrow wins over 7f (good to firm) either side of apparently failing to stay 1m at Goodwood in June but he found just the one pace when sixth of 11 at Ascot last month and it remains to be seen whether he's still on a winning mark.

Yet to score but he went fairly close at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut in April; hasn't repeated that effort in two subsequent runs, including over that C&D last time, but it's still relatively early days and he's back down in grade.
