Form & Verdict
Seven defeats, runner-up in five; while his best form last term reads well, he's made two backward steps since being gelded and having a year off; spurned another good opportunity last time (pulled hard), so that made it three losses at odds-on; needs a return to his best form on this AW debut in first-time headgear.

£25,000 yearling; 28-1 and tongue tied, slowly away and never dangerous when fourth of eight in C&D novice last Friday, showing some ability but he needs big improvement to overturn Kingori.

All 27 runs have been on AW; back-to-back wins at Southwell (1m) last October but he's been up and down since and was beaten 12l at Southwell two weeks ago; now makes his belated turf debut and comes with risks attached.

Back-to-back C&D wins last October (off 3lb lower than today, then 3lb higher than today); should appreciate returning to 1m having produced a lesser effort over 7f here last time; can be involved.

Form & Verdict
Hot favourite and scored with the minimum of fuss in a C&D maiden on debut; odds-on again in a novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) later in September and his strong finish from the rear confirmed that he is a useful prospect.

Hot favourite when scoring over 1m on AW in his first two starts last September but he's been disappointing in last two runs, including on recent handicap debut at Kempton; in good hands and still early days but he needs to get back on track at this new trip.

Beaten just one rival in three starts over 7f/1m on Tapeta last autumn; down in grade and longer trip should be within range on breeding, but plenty of improvement is required; stable also runs Kitty Pi.
