Form & Verdict
Ran green when seventh on Wolverhampton debut but he left that form well behind when third of 13 at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago; open to more improvement but he was 3l behind Georgecandoit last time and has some work to do to turn the tables with that rival.

Raced around 5f; creditable in-frame efforts on all four outings this year, notably when neck second of 17 at Thirsk (good) last Saturday; nudged up another 3lb but it shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if proving as effective at the new trip.

Out of a winning half-sister to two 1m Listed winners; 16-1 at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago but he was always prominent and kept on well to finish a clear second (Al Hussar third); that was a promising start and he sets a clear standard on that form.
