Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 4321 in his four handicaps, making the breakthrough when 6-4 favourite in nine-runner race over C&D (good; unraced on firmer) 12 days ago; raised 5lb today but he travelled best last time before holding the call over the last 2f and he may well have more to offer.

9st 6lb

J: Connor Beasley

T: Michael Dods

He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.

One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground.

Has not lived up to debut form, albeit with just three starts since; handicap, seasonal and AW debut at Newcastle last month failed to prove he stays 1m, but it's too early to write him off.

Promise in three runs over shorter as a 2yo, albeit he failed to build on his good debut run at Haydock (6f, good); mixed messages for 1m on pedigree but still open to improvement; gelded over the winter.

Similar type to Overnight Oats, having gone down by only half a length in C&D contest (good) on latest outing; raced mainly in Class 5 and now goes back up in grade but having Epsom form is a major plus; likely to perform well again; one for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Modest form since second start but his closest finish came when just over 3l behind Arkenstar in nine-runner handicap over C&D (good) 12 days ago, hooded for the first time and eventually getting the message as he ran on from last to fifth; that gave some hope and he's been dropped 2lb since.
