Off the mark in a 5.5f Bath handicap in June (firm) during a short tenure with Mick Appleby, and almost cashed in his lower mark on synthetics at Kempton latest (6f; stable debut), but mixed messages previously as to whether he truly stays 7f; jockey rode first double on Monday night.

Ex-Irish 3yo who won one of his three runs for Mick Appleby, a fast-ground Bath handicap over their extended 5f; best form is on turf but a lower AW rating heightens interest on stable debut (bought for 10,000gns).

Form & Verdict
Reportedly benefited from being more patiently ridden when scoring at Windsor (5f, soft; 2-1 favourite) in April; less effective since but back to that last winning mark, so must have a chance if handling faster underfoot conditions.

Soft-ground 5f win last April on one of her two visits to this track; three wins in the meantime, latest on Wolverhampton AW (6f) this May; no show on latest start but plenty of 2023 turf form (acts on any going) gives her a big shout.

Prominent racer who won three 6f nurseries on fast ground last season; chance on this season's best too but he failed to fire on turf at Lingfield last time (blinkered for the first time and now tried in a visor); should have the pace to cope with this return to 5f.

Form & Verdict
No match for a long odds-on favourite at Wolverhampton (5f novice) on second start, and no progress forthcoming here next time; has had some issues with the stalls previously, but this does appear to be a suitable race in which to make his handicap debut.
