Form & Verdict
Looked a useful prospect when making a smooth winning debut at Ayr last month (6f, good), his inexperience evident early but well in command at the finish; missed an engagement at Glorious Goodwood (Group 2) but a Middle Park entry is notable and he looks a leading contender despite his 6lb penalty.

Close third in Listed company at Wolverhampton last month on his first attempt at 7f and he wasn't beaten for a lack of stamina; not at his best in a hot sprint handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run.

Best from the front; made all in a C&D maiden (good) in June and a Hamilton handicap (8.5f, good to soft) in July; latest York effort was a little disappointing and the widest stall could make it tricky for him to lead, particularly as there are some confirmed front-runners drawn much nearer the inside.
