    Form & Verdict
    Ordinary form in his first four starts on the AW, but having been gelded he showed more when beaten just over a length into third of six on turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, soft) in April; the first and fourth have won since and although he has to prove himself on faster ground, that latest form entitles him to plenty of respect; cheekpieces given a go.

    2-4 since fitted with cheekpieces in the summer, the latter win gained at Kempton (1m3f) last month; slightly disappointing when upped to 1m4f there 18 days ago but further progress remains possible.

    He didn't have to improve to get off the mark in a small-field novice at Doncaster in June (1m2f, good; cheekpieces for the first time); below that level at Pontefract last month but there is still time for him to deliver an improved showing.

    Form & Verdict
    Similar level of form in finishing third of five at Bath (1m2f, firm) and fourth of five at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm); handicaps an option after this, but he still can't be dismissed in this field.

    Both starts in 7f AW novices, improving from his debut when fourth of 12 at Lingfield this month; some stamina in his pedigree and a contender if taking another step forward on turf debut; hood enlisted.

    Some promise at a modest level for Charles Hills without winning and was sold on for 7,000gns; down the field in two Flat races for current yard (1m2f/1m3f) and makes very limited appeal on this switch to hurdling.

    Backed in from 50-1 to 11-2 when getting up to win a Dundalk maiden (1m, AW) on his debut last November (form nothing special despite race having produced a couple of winners); changed hands for 75,000gns the following month and makes stable/turf debut after 224 days off; some stamina on the dam's side and remains completely unexposed.

    Average form over hurdles but performed with credit when fourth of nine finishers over C&D (good) behind Superstylin on chasing debut last month; may do better in this sphere but has his work cut out to reverse form with that rival.

    Was struggling for form over hurdles before finishing a 3.5l third of ten behind Gore Point at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June, but failed to build on that last month back from a break; makes chase debut off a sliding mark but others have more obvious claims.
