Form & Verdict
Came good with wide-margin win in first-time blinkers at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May and has made the frame on both starts since; denied clear run before finishing very close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and may yet have a bigger run in him.

Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Ideally needs to learn to settle better but was clear second of five over C&D (heavy) on handicap debut in May and, following a lesser effort, looked unlucky not to get closer to the target when fifth at Windsor (1m2f, good; denied clear run) last month; can't be ignored.

C&D win last December; off the mark for the year when winning a Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, soft) in good style in October; ran well over 1m2f here four weeks ago, carried right by the errant winner, and he's capable of another prominent showing.
