Form & Verdict
0-7 on AW to start career but then he won 11-runner handicap over C&D (good) last month on turf debut, always prominent and asserting late on; back up 2lb, which isn't too frightening; major player if he takes to first-time cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Form nosedived at one stage on turf this summer and he was 0-9 until obliging in clearcut fashion in 14-runner apprentice handicap at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last week under Adam Farragher, soon front rank on his third start in blinkers; that was improved form and he can race off the same mark today; huge shout on that but the longer-term evidence is not forgotten.
