Form & Verdict
Fair form in maidens at Ripon and Nottingham on the second and latest of his four starts, both 6f on good; probably forgiven penultimate outing as that was over 5f; narrowly failed to get past Sharron Macready last time but is 7lb better off on today's AW debut.

Runner-up this January-April on all four starts for Jane Chapple-Hyam, including over C&D; huge chance if that form were repeated but there's been no sign of it in her three runs for new connections and she is still a maiden after 15 starts.
