Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) last September on second start; good second in Epsom novice (1m2f, good) later that month on his only subsequent appearance; gelded since; so lightly raced, he should still be capable of better and looks one to note on this handicap/seasonal debut.

Twice a winner in 3-runner flat contests (rated 84) for the Crisfords on a decent surface; bought for just 7,000gns at the Newmarket Autumn Sales and faded badly in straight on yard debut at Dundalk last month; tongue-tied here for hurdles debut and may want better ground.

Had been enjoying a consistent season prior to a poor one at York in August, when said to have run flat; the break could have helped but he's 9lb higher than when winning at Haydock, so will need a career best on just his second AW start.
