Form & Verdict
Made slow start to the year but has returned from a short break in much better form, finishing close up on the AW in July and although unable to hold the late dash of the winner at Ayr since (1m, good) it was still a solid effort; close up off the same mark.

His form can be up and down and he failed to shine at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time; however, prior to that he was a promising fourth on his reappearance there (7f, AW), and he won off this mark at Chepstow (7f, good) last May; capable if bouncing back to form.

Close up in 6f Redcar novice as 2yo but found 1m3f asking too much of him on Carlisle handicap debut in June; should be open to some improvement in handicaps but big change of direction trip-wise is off-putting.

12-race maiden, runner-up twice last August (1m and 7f; here on first occasion); soft ground and 1m2f/1m4f may well make the heavy defeats in his two starts this season forgivable; could be a lot more interesting today, although connections also now reach for headgear first time.

Form & Verdict
Stepped up considerably on first two runs when going close over 5f on AW in December, then kept on well after a slow start back over 6f in January; left the Barrons for £5,500 in May; hard to be dogmatic about new trip but this handicap debut may be needed for new yard.

Runner-up to subsequent winner at Haydock on return (1m, good) but below best at 1m2f since, stopping to nothing at Pontefract recently (first-time blinkers, retained); return to 1m can suit but the manner of his latest defeat raises questions.

Off the mark at the 14th attempt when landing a C&D handicap in May but that was a narrow success in a Class 6 event and he's been well below that form in both subsequent runs; now returns to AW but this is a big step back up in grade and others are more convincing.
