Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
12-race maiden; bounced back quickly from poor seasonal debut when keeping-on fifth in quite valuable Sunday Series race at Hamilton (1m5f, good to soft) nine days ago and contests this easier race from a 2lb lower mark; would appeal more on slower ground but still goes on the shortlist.

Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride.

0-10 now but was placed off 2lb higher mark over C&D (good) when back on turf this month and certainly didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Musselburgh (2m, good) eight days ago; will be on the premises if first-time cheekpieces have any sort of positive effect.
