Form & Verdict
Unplaced in five 2yo starts, the first three of them for Clive Cox, but he hinted at better on several occasions, not seeing out his races; he's been gelded since and could be well treated if that has a positive effect; another to consider.

Was gaining his first turf success when springing a surprise in a 6f handicap at Windsor last month; came up shy in a better race 17 days ago but he initially made his name on AW and the return to Tapeta may help.

Form & Verdict
Has shown promise on all four of his runs to date, running creditably after five months off when third of six in a Wolverhampton maiden (5f; AW debut) four weeks ago; returning to 6f should suit, and if he builds on that last run he'll be a danger to all.

Beaten favourite upped to 7f at Southwell last time, taking record to 0-6; has some encouraging sprint-race form, notably second over C&D earlier in January; combination of first-time headgear and drop back in trip may prompt a first win.
