Form & Verdict
Upped to 7f for nursery debut at Doncaster (good; acts on good to soft) last time and that seventh of nine wasn't his best form but he shaped as if he stayed the trip; needs to build markedly on that and headgear is installed.

Suited by ground softer than good; proved resurgent last time in Redcar Listed contest he'd won a year earlier; on a workable mark returned to handicap level and Jack Dace takes off a bonus 5lb; shortlisted.

Came good in the mud last autumn, winning an Ascot handicap in September and following up in this race; hasn't come close to that level this season, including back on soft ground in that same Ascot handicap four weeks ago, but still no surprise were he to revive in refitted blinkers.

Two 7f soft-ground wins last term were kicked off in a similar handicap on the Saturday of this meeting one year ago; followed that up with a Redcar Listed success under Rossa Ryan one month later; hasn't matched that in two starts this term but this tends to be his time of year and he stays 1m; respected down to his last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Ran in 7f nurseries on last two outings, on latest leading final 1f to get off the mark in ten-runner race at Catterick (good to soft) when wearing first-time cheekpieces; that was positive but he's been raised 5lb and needs another step forward.

Runner-up on turf on his first three starts, when he didn't find as much as he had promised; gelded and fitted with cheekpieces for nursery debut at Kempton and got off the mark, winning by a neck in steadily run race, but Chelmsford (also 6f on AW) 18 days later saw a big backward step; should stay 7f but has more to prove.

After three runs, easily his best effort was on second start when fourth of eight in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); made the running that day and tried to come from the rear on starts either side; makes handicap debut and it's too early to write him off.

Slowly away on first two starts; also tried to come from the back in a maiden at Beverley (5f, good) on third attempt and he ran on into fifth of 12 after having to be switched; absent 84 days but that was a positive note when last seen and his dam was a 7f winner; one to keep an eye on.
