Form & Verdict
Outpaced on handicap debut over 7f here but the step up to 1m2f at Newcastle promised to suit on breeding and he looked set for a straightforward win until the second (a winner since) threatened late; he rallied well, though, and has a fair chance of staying 1m4f off 3lb higher.

Needs to bounce back from a poor effort at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last time but he was stuck out wide that day and was in good form previously; 2-2 over 1m4f at this track and should cope with this slightly shorter trip.

Form & Verdict
Maiden with a mixed record since handicapping and the return to turf was a letdown 18 days ago; however, he had run one of his better races when second of 13 over C&D the time before and it might be worth forgiving his recent lapse; usually wears aids, just a tongue-tie today.

Mildly progressive in qualifying runs as 3yo and this long straight suited when he made grinding late headway into a close third of seven on handicap debut here (1m3f) back from a winter break; left on the same mark and likely to come on for the run and the extra furlong; thereabouts.
