Returned to something like the form he had shown as a juvenile when with Sir Michael Stoute last time, when returned to Tapeta at Newcastle (1m2f); drops 2lb and a repeat effort would probably see him involved.

9.5f AW win last October and runner-up in two of his four runs since, including over this trip; apprentice good value for a 5lb claim in this company but he's been well beaten in two turf runs (both on slower than good); rated 6lb lower on grass as a consequence.

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark at the fifth attempt in a Chepstow handicap (1m, good to firm) in August, when racing prominently; well below that level of form when up 6lb to this mark at Thirsk (1m, good) since; has to get back on track and is a likely player if he can.
