Form & Verdict
Sole win came fresh, which is a bonus, and he's rated on the ceiling mark of 50; on the negative side he regressed last year and the usual headgear is missing for a yard that's been struggling for winners of late.

Well below market expectations on debut two months ago before two more poor efforts over 7f; has stamina in her pedigree, though, and did much better to win by a neck from Faithless Insomnia when upped to 1m2f for handicap debut on Lingfield Polytrack last weekend, leading close home; has more to give and every chance of defying a penalty.
