Form & Verdict
Rare winning 2yo newcomer for the yard at Yarmouth in August 2020 (well backed) and he returned from 792 days off to win a C&D novice at prohibitive odds seven weeks ago; has more on his plate switched to handicap company but he is promising and bred to be very useful; of obvious interest.

Has a patchy profile but he got back near best with a strong-finishing success in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; that was in a bunch finish but he's only 2lb higher and is a big player if he can repeat that form.
