Form & Verdict
Useful for Robert Cowell and changed hands for 70,000gns in October; sent off co-favourite for a 5f handicap here on his stable debut four weeks ago but he couldn't land a blow in a race in which the pace held up; dropped 1lb and he's got too much ability to discount.

1m2f winner one year ago on his second start for this yard; string of good efforts on AW this winter but he didn't look to have any real excuses dropped to 6f at Lingfield last week; 2lb higher today but has the benefit of Billy Loughnane's claim; others look stronger.

Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered.
