Form & Verdict
Won his first three handicaps over 11.5f-1m6f on turf/Polytrack in the middle of last year before losing his way; interesting that he remains with his current yard and, following wind surgery, it was an encouraging run at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in a race not run to suit; easy to back there at 10-1 and better expected this time.

Late last year he won on Flat (1m5f, AW) and over hurdles; sold out of Gary Moore's for £8,500 after losing his way but it wasn't a bad first run for this yard in a Class 4 at Sandown (1m6f) and he might go well if building on that.
