Arrives in top form having won really well under Zac Lloyd at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time, building on his reappearance effort and taking record in cheekpieces to 4-10; that sets him up perfectly for a crack at a bigger prize and further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Built on debut promise by completing a Newmarket double (7f/6f) last October and the form has received several boosts since; came off a true line last time but may keep straighter with headgear now applied; open to further progress and commands respect on handicap/seasonal debut, especially if the betting speaks positively.

Gained his final win for previous yard and sole placed effort for current stable over 7f; overall record at this trip is 2-5; gelded prior to never landing a blow in another 6f event on seasonal debut; could go well, with this step back up in distance a plausible plus.

Inconsistent sort who is opposable on the majority of his form over the last 12 months and was only sixth at Newmarket last time; however, he's popped up with the odd big run, finishing third in this last year and filling the same position in a big field at York last month; not a forlorn hope each-way.
