Made a successful nursery debut at Beverley (5f, good) two weeks ago, opening his account at the fifth attempt despite not looking entirely straightforward in second-time blinkers (retained); showed promise here on sole 6f attempt; may improve further in handicaps.

Form & Verdict
Below par in Newmarket sales race last time; has a high mark and concedes plenty of weight all round on nursery debut but may prove up to the task, provided he returns to the form of his good effort (seventh of 20) in the Coventry; novice wins flank that run.

Career best when getting up late on in a 7f Listed event on the AW in March but he has beaten just one rival in his two subsequent appearances, in the Group 3 Greenham (7f) and a 6f handicap at Newmarket; not a lot went right last time but this stiff 1m could trouble him, as might a tough-looking mark; hood added.

Consistent efforts at maiden/novice level until form dipped sharply at Ayr two months ago; latest effort tempers enthusiasm to some extent but this Johnston colt may bounce back, in which case he has possibilities off bottom weight on handicap debut.

Having dropped in the weights he made an immediate impact on AW in February, recording a quick hat-trick in 1m handicaps at Newcastle, Lingfield and Wolverhampton; career-best effort when second in a 1m handicap at Newcastle last month but his form dipped at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable.

Appeared to lose his way after completing an AW hat-trick at the start of the year (including a win over C&D), but he bounced right back to form when beaten half a length into second of 13 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Saturday; off the same mark (due a 1lb rise) and major chance if repeating that effort; stable also runs Never Fear.
