Form & Verdict
Dual turf winner (7.4f/1m), who was a creditable third over 1m2f at Newbury in his final run last summer; left Richard Hannon for 25,000gns since; now returns to AW for new yard but he's unexposed in this sphere and his last success was after an absence; needs watching in market.

Two wins for the Gosdens, the latest at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last summer; now 2lb lower than for that success but he was out of sorts in his final two runs last season and was down the field again on his stable debut at Newcastle last month; others more persuasive.
