Off the mark at the seventh attempt with a last-gasp win in a Wolverhampton handicap (7f, AW; 18-1) last month; 2lb higher back up in trip, but that was a brave success and he showed plenty of promise on turf last season including when fourth in a valuable sales race at Newmarket; respected.

Finished second in a Southwell novice last July on only AW start; has since shown decent form in various company at up to 7f on turf, with both blinkers and cheekpieces tried; sets the standard but he was only third at 8-11 at Redcar last time so probably vulnerable again.

Form & Verdict
Won a less competitive C&D handicap off 2lb lower in May; again inclined to over-race when upped to 1m on turf at Windsor last time, which was another solid effort all things considered but he's vulnerable to improvers in this better race.

Improved RPR each of first four starts (managed a 6f win at Newcastle) but progress has stalled; ran over 7f in last two outings; promising effort at Wolverhampton but weak in the betting and ran accordingly on turf debut at Musselburgh; bit to prove back sprinting; trainer also runs Caviar Cowboy.

Raced clear in 7f and 6f events on the AW last autumn but she was slightly hampered and done with from a fair way out on her handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good); should come on for the run, though, and no surprise if she shows to better advantage in a less competitive race.
