Form & Verdict
Gelded before getting off the mark in a Southwell novice (1m3f, Tapeta) in July and has posted three solid efforts in AW handicaps since; has a bit to find with Miramichi on their meeting here (1m3f) last month, but is better drawn than his old rival and he may find a bit more for the fitting of blinkers (replacing cheekpieces).

Three wins over 1m4f earlier in the year including one here; last four starts have been over 1m6f-2m2f and the return to this trip may help, but stamina hasn't appeared to be an issue and he remains 6lb above his last winning mark, so does need to find a bit more.

Rattled off a four-timer on turf in the summer of 2021 and was making his AW debut when beaten half a length into third of 13 here (1m3f) last month; still to conclusively prove his stamina over this far, but this may not be truly run and a 2lb rise for last time merely puts him back on his last winning mark; drawn wide but still considered.
