Form & Verdict
Perhaps found 6f inadequate on debut, then proved suited by the step up to 7f at Musselburgh where he scored comfortably; bred to relish this scenario, being a half-brother to a dual C&D winner, and warrants respect under 7lb penalty.

Well backed to win a 1m4f handicap here last September but nowhere near that in his next three runs; latest effort over 1m here (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago was a step back in the right direction, however, and he'd be a threat if building on that now back up in trip; now tries cheekpieces.
