Form & Verdict
19-race maiden under both codes but he's not been with John Butler for long and was a staying-on fourth of 14 here (1m4f) last Monday; that was eyecatching over a trip sharper than ideal and he looks interesting on this step back up to 2m; cheekpieces reapplied.

Ended 2022 with a Kempton win (2m, Polytrack) but he has form figures of 4437444 this year and that latest fourth was a tailed-off effort at Nottingham (2m, heavy); returns to AW off a dangerous mark but he's now 1-12 and others are more convincing.

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip.
