Form & Verdict
Useful effort when winning on second start, making all over 7f on Kempton AW last August; a Group 3 next time proved too much, too soon, and he wasn't seen again until making his handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month, where he ran with more promise than the beaten distance suggests; drying ground a help and open to improvement.

Back on the up with 1m Salisbury handicap success on good to soft 23 days ago; might have been helped by a position near the rail but there was plenty to like about the way he kept on finding; only 3lb higher and shouldn't have reached his limit after five starts.
