Form & Verdict
Best form is in the mud but he had excuses in a good-ground 6f handicap at Newmarket two starts back as he travelled on the pace in a race dominated by closers, and he was hampered; hasn't raced over 5f since his debut but he looks quick enough.

Handicap mark not impossible judged on his C&D win last May off 3lb lower; running okay in defeat this winter and it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of the action.

Good record on AW; as good as ever this year, finishing fourth (behind Cool Hoof Luke) in a Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and then second in a handicap back at Lingfield last week; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust (one turf attempt saw him finish tailed off) but he hasn't got much to find on form.

He was returning from a 147-day break when readily accounting for eight rivals in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 10lb higher this time around but he has earned his lofty rating; close fourth in a Listed event here four weeks ago; contender.

190,000gns yearling who made nice progress last season, winding up with a clearcut novice win on the AW (5f); this mark might not be too demanding provided the run isn't needed.

Form & Verdict
Has won three of his last four and dropping back to 5f is probably a good thing after the early speed he showed at Lingfield latterly (early February), where he was clear before holding on by the skin of his teeth; just as effective if ridden off the pace and he's well handicapped off just 2lb higher; returning to turf is not off-putting.
