He has improved since handicapping but has been beaten at 5-2 or shorter on his last three starts; no obvious reason he wouldn't give his running but more minor money may prove his best hope.

Form & Verdict
Took a long time to get off the mark but having landed a 1m2f handicap at Epsom last month, he followed up at Brighton (wide-margin win in an apprentice handicap); unpenalised and 8lb ahead of the handicapper so has plenty in his favour, for all he has to prove himself on AW (earlier unsuccessful attempts came over 1m4f, bled on the second occasion).
