Form & Verdict
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles (0-9 overall); however, ran well off 5lb higher here (1m5f) last January and that form gives him a shout back under this code; from a major yard and may yet come good.

Form & Verdict
Stayed on for third, albeit no match for the first two, in 1m2f novice event here two months ago; now 0-10 but may improve for this step up to 1m4f and remains unexposed on AW; interesting off a reduced mark back at handicap level.

Good summer in 2021 included a win in this race under Serena Brotherton; drew a blank in 2022 but got back in front at Bath (1m6f) this April when last seen; it looks as if ground softer than good may be needed if he races over as short as 1m4f these days.

His seven wins have all been at middle distances but he has form at up to 2m and is ideally suited on slow ground; last success was in July 2021 but that was off 3lb higher and he returned to turf with an eyecatching fourth at Pontefract (1m4f, soft) ten days ago; kept on well out wide in that race and he looks interesting back up in trip.
