Form & Verdict
Scopey; improved form when striding out pleasingly to win 1m novice at Pontefract in September (second won next time); out of AW stakes winner in Canada who has produced Polytrack, Tapeta and dirt winners so likely to handle this surface and this long straight can suit; improve.

Three-time Flat winner for Marco Botti in Britain; purchased for 89,000gns in August; brings a Flat rating of 89 for his hurdling/stable debut; should be suited by this better ground and of obvious interest given trainer/rider combination.

Gelded in November and improved form when going close at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) and Doncaster (1m2f, good) in his first two runs this season; finished last of six at Epsom last time but he got involved in some scrimmaging and is a big player if he can bounce back near best.

Form & Verdict
Ready winner of first AW run, over 1m at Chelmsford; did well on C&D handicap debut in October when, after half-bucking twice at the start, he did nothing wrong in the race and lost out only narrowly; now goes in first-time blinkers; every chance if all goes well at the start.

All races at 6f; useful effort on second start when third of 11 in a Salisbury maiden that worked out well but his Haydock run after wasn't at the same level; gelded since; can take a good hold so the significant step up in trip is an unknown now switched to AW on handicap debut.
