Form & Verdict
Positives to take from his fourth-placed finish at Ayr (6f, good), not least that the race has thrown up various winners, including the now fairly useful Naas scorer Golden Trick (third); dam was a 7f turf (and 1m AW) winner, so this extra furlong could unlock more; noteworthy from the plum draw.

Has developed into a useful 7f handicapper, including a Musselburgh win (good) in May; hasn't managed to reproduce that in three outings since but this is a bit easier than the Bunbury Cup he contested last time and Warren Fentiman takes 5lb off; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Slowly away on Windsor debut (6f) but shaped better on return to action at Kempton (1m, AW) where he weakened into fifth of nine on first start since a gelding operation; dropping back to 7f is favourable, even though his prowess on soft is an unknown; needs to find more to trouble the principals.

Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before.
