Form & Verdict
Shaped quite nicely on York debut but not yet seen the best of him, seemingly outstayed over the extended 7f at Beverley and again at Carlisle (6f, soft) two weeks ago; this sharper 6f could see him in a better light; first-time visor replaces blinkers; still time for him to do better.

Heavy-ground turf win last October and he comes here on the back of second-place finishes at Newcastle (5f) and here (6f); sneaking back up the weights but should give it another good go.

Minor promise in qualifying runs and although his handicap debut at Ripon (5f, good to firm; favourite) was disappointing it did look as though he might have been caught out by the undulations; no surprise to see him fare better back at 6f; leading yard is 6-18 with 2yos here.
