5 yo Gelding

OR: 81

Form & Verdict
Had 12 races but he's a progressive, uncomplicated sprinter who was always up in the van before running out a 1l winner over C&D (good) last month and a 4lb rise should be very manageable; bypassed Goodwood last week after the ground went good to firm, so drying conditions have to be a nagging concern; strong claims otherwise.

Promise on AW for Charles Hills but his three wins have come on turf; doubt he's handicapped out of things for new yard (sold for 6,000gns in October) but he'll need to be at his best back from 173 days off.

Has missed two chunks of his career but returned from the latest one in good form, finding plenty to win going away at Newbury before just losing out there in June (both at 6f on good; has won on soft); solid chance under Kieran Shoemark, who is 2-3 on him.

Five-time winner but behind Shobiz in his last two races and the first-time tongue-tie will need to make a difference; cheekpieces returned last time and are retained.

Sole success in 15 starts was in a Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in August off just 2lb lower; only eighth on his AW return but he was drawn wide and can improve on that form.

All four runs on the AW (at 6f) during the second half of 2021; was tailed off the final time but progressive prior to that and could still have plenty of potential still lurking on this belated handicap debut after missing all of 2022; has been gelded; market may guide.
