Form & Verdict

Earned an RPR of 86 when making a winning debut at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack; 80-1) last October and ran to a similar level when beaten under a length into second of ten under his penalty over the same C&D the following month; gelded since and has been found a weak race in which to make his reappearance, with the shorter trip not an issue on pedigree.

Form & Verdict

Had an excuse when sixth of ten on his Kempton debut (6f, Polytrack) in March, rearing up badly in the stalls before the start, but he seemed to be beaten fair and square at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; can do better, but perhaps in handicaps after this.
