No turf win since August 2019; won three times on the AW (2m) last year, but it's difficult to draw a great deal of confidence from either of his two efforts since returning to action; look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
0-8; went close in a Lingfield handicap (1m4f, Polytrack) in June and again back there in an apprentice classified event (1m5f, good to firm) latest; dam closely related to a 2m winner so she may be able to improve stepping up in trip but has that to prove.

With the headgear left off he returned to winning ways with a narrow success over 1m6f here when delivered from midfield; the runner-up went into that race in decent form; just 2lb higher.

Won on seasonal reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, soft) but has failed to demonstrate improvement for stepping up in distance; placed from a 4lb higher mark at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) on penultimate start but well below par behind Huscari at Lingfield since; risky proposition.

Form & Verdict
Took a big step up on most of his form this season when a decisive winner at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) from a reduced mark latest; carries a 5lb penalty for that but now looks well handicapped and a similar effort would make him very tough to beat.

Handles Tapeta but is best known for his Chelmsford work and has three poor efforts to his name here, including one at a short price; is long odds-on to blow the start too, so doesn't come without risk, going without headgear for the first time in ages.
