Form & Verdict
Didn't show much in his first three starts, but improved plenty when beaten a neck on nursery debut here (1m; first-time blinkers) nine days ago, pulling well clear of the third; return to this trip shouldn't be an issue and he holds strong claims from the same mark.

Improver since handicapping in blinkers, twice finishing a clear second to the progressive Lazieelunch either side of an easy C&D win; further 5lb rise sees him a stone higher than for his victory but he may well be up to it.
