Form & Verdict
Not disgraced in three 1m novices last autumn including here but, having been gelded, he has been comfortably held in handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) since returning in June; this is easier, though, so not dismissed entirely.

Yet to win on turf after eight attempts but he's posted a couple of better efforts of late back on good ground, latest in a first-time visor over C&D having missed the break; needs to find some improvement, however.

Form & Verdict
Both wins since arriving from Germany have come at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack), the latest last month; 5lb rise not the end of the world, given that he took that race with some authority, but he didn't appear to stay in one previous attempt over this far; stable won this last year.

In good form in his last few starts on turf since the tongue-tie went back on, including a win at Bath (11.6f, good to soft) in April; 7lb higher than when last on the AW so he will need to continue his recent improvement back on this surface, but a player if he can.
