Form & Verdict

Produced a sparking turn of foot to win a 1m4f handicap at Lingfield in January (1m4f), his fourth AW success; better form when second at Newcastle on Good Friday and could still have more to come on AW; conceding weight all round but could well be up to the task.

Form & Verdict

Won a 1m2f novice on Polytrack at Lingfield last September; successful return from 350-day absence in September, doing well to pull so far clear with one other in a slowly run race at Goodwood (1m2f, good); he'll need to improve again to make a winning handicap debut but that's highly likely given his profile and pedigree.
