Form & Verdict
33-1 for his Newmarket debut in October (7f, good) and kept on late to finish seventh of the ten runners, beaten just over 5l at the finish; that gives him something to build on and he is a contender in this company.

All three wins on AW; decent third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month but unable to back that up returning to turf when 14th of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); seems better on AW.

Three wins (7f/1m, all AW) and it was a good effort when third in Southwell series final (1m, AW) 17 days ago; having a rare foray on grass but did finish second in good-ground Chester handicap (6f) in September; not dismissed from his lower turf mark.

Some appeal on pedigree but she missed her first intended start when getting upset in the stalls (8-1 at the time) and then unseated her rider and got loose in the paddock prior to being withdrawn at Kempton this month (16-1); clearly not straightforward.

Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon.
