Form & Verdict
Ran well in both AW runs as 3yo and returned from a six-month break to win a 6f maiden at Wolverhampton in good style last month; that wasn't a great race but he impressed with the way he travelled and the Topspeed figure was solid; moves into handicaps with untapped potential; interesting.
