Form & Verdict
Winning debut on AW at Wolverhampton (7f) last March but was well held in two handicaps later; however, he posted a solid effort when third at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on reappearance, having undergone wind/gelding operations, and should come on for that; this return to 1m could suit.

Better than ever this year after gelding operation and wind surgery, coming from last to first over C&D three weeks ago; he's in deeper here but a 4lb rise hardly looks insurmountable and it feels as if he's just starting to fulfil his potential; leading contender.

Didn't build on a promising start on AW last spring, including well held in 1m Haydock handicap (good to soft) on sole turf start; has been gelded and had a second wind operation ahead of this return from eight months off; it's still early days but his profile isn't compelling.
