Form & Verdict

Quite lightly raced 5yo who is well suited by soft/heavy ground; beat Impartiality by 3l at Beverley (1m2f) most recently, adding to his 3yo wins and taking record to 3-12; warrants respect provided conditions are again in his favour.

Probably on a high enough mark but he's gone close in last two races and travelled much the best last time at Hamilton (1m1f, good); he'll enjoy this softer ground; considered.

Record of 0-13 since hat-trick last season but he is in a consistent vein of form, having been placed over 1m1f/1m2f in last five runs, latest at Ayr (soft); solid chance, despite dropping back in trip; has won over C&D.

Given the ease with which he won at Chester (1m2f, good) it was disappointing that he came up short under a penalty at Ayr (good), though again he ran well; he's up 4lb here and they claimed 3lb last time, so has more on at these weights; he could improve for this softer surface, though.

Won easily at Chester (10.3f, good) last month and beaten just a neck at Ayr (1m2f, good) six days later; heavy ground excuses his subsequent defeat at Beverley; he's climbed the weights and it's possible that 1m4f may just stretch him, but there lots to like otherwise and Harry Cobden rides.

Substantial improvement to win novice at Nottingham in October, followed by creditable sixth of seven in French Listed race (both 1m on heavy); however, eased right down from 4f out on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good; 22-1) three weeks ago, after which it's hard to approach him with confidence.
