Form & Verdict
Sprung a 150-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in July and he's shown that was no fluke with two second placings since; needs more to defy new mark but there could be more to come over 1m.

Dual AW winner who was placed on turf here (1m2f) last month but he flopped on his drop back to 1m at Bath (started slowly) 12 days ago; needs to bounce back after that and he's probably more potent over longer trips these days.

Doesn't win very often (3-36) but has two wins at this track, the latest a similar event (1m2f, AW) in January; has run creditably since until taking a dip when eighth of 15 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month on his return to turf; has the form to run well here if putting his best foot forward.

Took his record to 0-5 when unable to justify favouritism in a 1m nursery at Kempton three weeks ago but he did best of the prominent racers in that contest (also squeezed up and lost ground in the final furlong) and the addition of blinkers could spark extra from him; high on the list.
