Form & Verdict
Bought for £8,000 last October and has won all three starts for his new yard this spring (1m-8.4f, soft/good to soft; including here); effective on fast ground in the past and has shaped as though this shorter trip will be okay; up in grade today but clearly thriving and can go well once more.

Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit.

Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip.
