Form & Verdict
Has qualified for a mark and may be more interesting in handicaps, as form figures of 655 reflect; however, holds leading claims if back to debut RPR and pedigree suggests he's well up to winning this ordinary maiden; dam and grandam both successful for his connections.

Raised in grade after dominating single-figure fields at Ludlow (good to soft) and Fontwell (good), making most on both occasions; a collective rise of 17lb (Freddie Keighley claimed the 10lb last time) could spell danger but hard to dismiss.
