Form & Verdict
Runner-up over 7f here in July and he has been placed in both nursery runs, latterly going down by a short-head at Epsom five weeks ago; only raced on good or quicker on turf but both his sire and his dam handled slow ground; blinkers left off today; leading claims.

Yet to add to his 2yo win and was out of form when last seen in the autumn; drops back to 1m having been campaigned over middle-distances over the last couple of years; others have more pressing claims.

Acquitted himself with credit when finishing in midfield in a 6f sales race at Newmarket on his debut in August; sent off favourite for a 1m maiden on the Rowley course 12 days ago and ran perfectly well, albeit not making the progress that might have been expected; still early days and this is far less demanding.

Good comeback over 1m2f when third of 15 at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and made it win number six when going in at Leicester (1m4f, good) next time; never threatened over 2m at Ascot last Friday but not ruled out back down in trip.
