Low-mileage 4yo who was evidently very well suited by the step up in trip when winning quite comfortably over C&D in July; can improve again this season and needs to be taken very seriously.

8st 6lb

T: K L Man

Little impact in four starts split between novice and handicap company; finished last over C&D on his Happy Valley debut last time out; difficult to make a case for.

Yet to show anything more than minor promise after three starts (6f-7f) and probably one for further down the line.

Form & Verdict

Smart when trained in Australia but yet to be placed after eight Hong Kong starts; stayed on for respectable sixth over C&D when dropped back in trip in June and is eased in grade today but still has something to prove.

Consistent maiden who has been placed on six of his ten starts (three times over C&D); fourth over 6f here on recent seasonal debut; needs to find something extra to get a win on the board.
