Form & Verdict
Finished in rear in three maiden/novice events last year but he looked a different proposition on his handicap debut when scoring in good style at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; 4-1) 15 days ago; up 6lb but he's open to improvement and is a big player again.

Has form figures of 11213 since switched to handicaps this year and he shaped as though this drop back in trip could suit when third at Lingfield (1m) last week; has good draw on this return to Tapeta and this well-bred gelding still has scope for further progress; respected.
