Form & Verdict
Finished well for second in Brighton maiden (6f, good to firm) in June, his second start, but the form isn't anything to get excited about and he struggled to get involved in Salisbury novice last time; upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for nursery debut.

His two wins last August/September (including here) came over 1m2f but he travelled well when fourth over 1m1f here (good to firm) on his recent return to action, when short of room close home, and he may have versatility in terms of trip; interesting contender.

Won at Ayr in August and he responded well to a tongue-tie when scoring over C&D the following month; still looks feasibly treated but he flopped here (last of nine) and needs to bounce back after that laboured effort.
