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.

As good as ever last winter and he returned from seven months off with a creditable second at Chelmsford in November; patchy record in Bahrain more recently; not ruled out but he will need to be at the top of his game to give the weight away all round.

He boasts a high level of form on AW, running to an RPR of 105 or more in ten of his 20 AW starts; has left the impression most of his ability is intact on turf this summer and although he has a higher mark in this sphere, he's still a contender of some interest.

Created a favourable impression when easily winning a Catterick maiden and a Doncaster novice last summer (both 6f); got left behind in the final furlong on his seasonal/handicap debut at Newcastle four weeks ago but he may have needed that first run for six months; still needs a personal best to take this.
