Form & Verdict
Showed ability in two of his four starts for James Ferguson last year, but improved when beaten a short head and a head into third of 12 in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) on Saturday; already due a 2lb rise, but it remains to be seen if the return to 6f is a positive back in a handicap.

Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best.

Placed in three Tapeta novices, coming closest to winning when beaten half a length at Southwell (6f) in January; a bit keen when third of ten at Wolverhampton (7f) last time, so the return to this trip may help on handicap debut; respected.

Four runs in novice and maiden company (5f-7f), finishing second on each occasion; this might prove his optimum trip and cheekpieces could spark extra now handicapping.

Runner-up in all three starts on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (5f/6f), the latest when sent off odds-on four weeks ago; that form hasn't been done any harm in the meantime and there is optimism for the longer trip on pedigree; one of three from yard.

Usually misses the break and can pull hard, as was the case on her 5f comeback at the weekend; capable of popping up if the stars align, as when winning a 0-50 easily over C&D last summer, but she's hard to recommend.
