It wasn't a strong race that he won at Chelmsford on his debut (1m) but the runner-up (well beaten) won next time, as did the remote third; gelded since that success; obvious claims in this field.

All three runs in 1m AW novices; conceding 3lb to Yaanaas when mowed down by that rival at Kempton and that was after six months off, so he's entitled to be sharper; dangerous to discount on turf/handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
Overcame his inexperience to make a winning debut at Southwell in February (7f); better form when trying to concede 5lb to a rival now BHA-rated 93 at Lingfield two weeks later (1m; front pair well clear); retains potential and he should make a bold bid back from a 230-day absence.
