Form & Verdict
Didn't have to improve to win a Wolverhampton novice at odds of 1-12 in April; ran quite well at Salisbury on his handicap debut given he missed the break and then pulled far too hard in rear in a race in which the pace held up; suspicion he's well handicapped but breaking on terms has been an issue and he can't afford to fluff the start from stall 1.

Looked a sprinter with a big future when winning a well-contested 5f handicap at Ascot last summer but he refused to race at Goodwood 17 days later and he's been well beaten in three runs this year, starting slowly at both Epsom and Ascot on his last two outings; this is his first start at 6f and given he has been headstrong, it isn't sure to suit; not short of ability but the risks are obvious.
