Completed a hat-trick in nurseries last summer, the first two wins coming here (7.5f, good to firm); mixed record this year but the return to this track could pique his interest.

Form & Verdict
Best run yet and didn't go unbacked when a front-running second to Leading Company at Beverley (7.5f); the winner was well on top when it mattered but he's 6lb better off and cheekpieces are fitted.

Dual-purpose maiden; makes his handicap hurdle debut after three ordinary efforts in maiden company at 2m-2m3f; potential improver but not obviously well treated; still worth a market check.

Big prices and just minor promise in his qualifying runs at around 7f, but he's the type who should be seen to better effect in nurseries.

Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in August and pedigree provides some hope regarding this step up in trip; however, she's struggled on her last two starts (8.6f/1m, including here) and has something to prove.
