Runner-up in nine of his first 14 races, before finally off the mark when well backed for 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (extended 2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago in second-time cheekpieces; drew 12l clear for that breakthrough but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another step forward.

Form & Verdict
Bought for £80,000 soon after winning a 2m4f point (good ground) in April 2021; yet to make his debut on racecourse proper, having been withdrawn twice because of unsuitable ground (good going in 2022, heavy last month), and had wind surgery in September 2022; also now tongue tied; loads of guesswork is involved but he's from an in-form yard and it would be interesting to see him strong in the market.

Yet to win and has a regressive profile, with recent form figures of PUP hardly a ringing endorsement; wind surgery, coupled with the fact that he competes from a lowly mark at a realistic level, are the positives; others preferred.
