Form & Verdict
Promise in his first three starts (finished in front of Invincible Speed at Bath on his second run) and took a step forward with Saturday's easy win in a Wolverhampton nursery (5f; cheekpieces for the first time); that effort backed up by the clock; more to come.

He has improved for the drop to 5f on his last two starts, winning well in a Redcar novice last month before a near miss in a Lingfield nursery one week later; should be in the thick of it once again.

On the up since handicapping, getting off the mark in a 5f nursery at Lingfield in December; good second at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day but he wasn't at his best tried in cheekpieces (retained) at Chelmsford last month; perhaps vulnerable to improvers.
