Form & Verdict
Surged back to form when winning two AW classifieds (1m at Lingfield and 7f here) in June; right out of form on next two outings but then scored in a Lingfield handicap (1m2f) on latest; that inconsistency is a worry but three wins from last five starts is clearly not to be scoffed at.

Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) last October on his penultimate outing for Richard Fahey; that's his only win in the last three and a bit years and he was tailed off in first-time cheekpieces for new yard at Chester (admittedly with stamina to prove at 1m2f) in July on sole run this term; should be more interesting with that under his belt.

Form & Verdict
