Seemed to run okay over 7f here last October but he hasn't built on it in two handicaps since; down in the weights but something to prove on this first crack at sprinting.

J: Dougie Costello

T: Thomas Faulkner

Won off 7lb higher over C&D last May but that is his sole win from 16 starts and he's been well held in his three runs this season; visor worn last time is removed and he needs to raise his game significantly back on AW.

4 yo Colt

OR: 60

Form & Verdict
He stepped up on his novice form to win a C&D handicap (Magicinthemaking second) in October off a 5lb lower mark, coming from well back to score cosily; less good twice since, pulling hard at Wolverhampton when last seen in November (cheekpieces added, retained); gelded afterwards; still has potential and he's more appealing than most.
