Form & Verdict
Consistent across for the Gosdens, winning a 5f maiden at Yarmouth (soft) in May on final outing for the yard; changed hands for 35,000gns in July; still has potential but he struggled on his stable debut last month and has something to prove after that laboured effort; change of headgear.

Regressive gelding who can pull hard and has hung left a couple of times since returned to turf, including here; most racing over 5f and his record over this trip is hard to enthuse about, for all that this is easier snd he's in a new headgear combination.

Seven-time winner; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune and he has met trouble in two of his three runs for Ben Haslam; has the ability to win at this level and stall 1, while not optimal, should at least keep him clear of some of the traffic.
