Form & Verdict
He made a very promising start to his career last winter, winning two novice events at Newcastle (6f and 5f); beaten on his next eight starts but they include a Group 3 second and a close fifth in a Listed race at Ascot when last seen in October; this isn't as demanding as his earlier handicap efforts and he's respected, for all the widest stall isn't ideal.

T: Michael Appleby

Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces.

Ended last season with a game win in Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) in October; repeatedly met trouble when only seventh in Saudi Arabia (a race he'd won two years earlier) in February and things didn't really go his way again in a Listed race at Doncaster last month; has possibilities on this drop back in class and his last handicap win was off 1lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Three turf wins over 5f last summer and he ended 2022 with three good runs on AW, most recently coming from well back, and having challenged very wide, to finish an unlucky second over C&D two weeks ago (behind Tyger Bay); better drawn today and he's surely up to winning races off this mark.

He has raced over further in all runs since joining this stable, winning two 7f handicaps at Wolverhampton in the latter part of 2021; solid runs in defeat last year but getting no respite from the handicapper; not short of speed and dropping to 6f from a good draw might prompt another improved showing; one to take seriously.
