Form & Verdict

Both starts over 1m2f, scoring narrowly at Windsor then disappointing favourite at Nottingham where he admittedly shaped as if this drop to 1m is well worth exploring (pedigree largely backs that up); may still progress and remains of interest.

Well beaten on sole run this term, though perhaps did too much up front and the soft ground exacerbated matters; solid second (behind a useful rival) at Newmarket on his only 2yo start and holds a leading chance on that effort.
