Form & Verdict
310,000gns buy as a yearling; well beaten on his Haydock debut last spring but he finished runner-up at Thirsk (6f, soft/good) in his two runs during the summer; goes up in trip after 157 days off but he should stay this far and is open to more progress; respected.

0-11 but was short-headed in first-time blinkers (retained) over 1m3f here (good to firm) ten days ago, when well clear of the third; he's a contender if backing up that latest run and coping with the slower ground.
