Form & Verdict

Yet to add to his win in this race two years ago and is no longer the force of old but has made the frame in three consecutive 6f handicaps since cheekpieces were removed this summer and has each-way claims at least here, assuming the first-time eyeshield doesn't rock the boat.

Form & Verdict

Some smart form as 2yo but well down the field on all three appearances at 6f and 7f this year, most recently on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) last month; eased in grade again here and ought to be better suited by the faster ground but still has a lot to prove.
