Form & Verdict
Looks bred for a little further and he needs to build substantially on his sixth of 12 in novice at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; tongue tied) in late August, but a better start would have helped that day and he's worth a second look.

Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; on a lofty mark under a 6lb penalty and it remains to be seen if he's just as good over 1m, but there can be optimism in that regard and he's clearly progressive; has run well on soft/good to soft.
