Form & Verdict
Generally progressive colt who made it two wins from five starts when landing a Lingfield handicap (1m2f, Polytrack) 16 days ago; that was in a four-runner race but he found plenty in the closing stages and is only 2lb higher here; respected on his step up to 1m4f.

Won on his handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f) early this month but his form really took off with a 6l win at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) four days later; up 10lb but he won eased down last time and has plenty of scope for further progress; big player again in hat-trick bid.

Made a successful handicap debut in a weak five-runner event at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in January, but then won very easily under a penalty at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) four days later and after having been put up 10lb, his latest third of six over C&D was in a stronger race than this; leading claims.

Ran three times in the autumn (7f-1m1f) and improved on that form when making all under Billy Loughnane on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on Monday; unexposed and has strong claims under a 6lb penalty.

Well-held fourth in his first two starts in the autumn but he found plenty of progress on the step up to 1m3f when justifying support in Kempton novice (Polytrack) last month; should have more to offer now handicapping over this trip and he looks interesting for yard that won this last year.
