Kept on well to take second in a Wincanton maiden (1m7f, good to soft) in April and he was noticeably warm in the preliminaries prior to a laboured return to action at Stratford; may be worth another chance.

Remains a maiden but placed a few times and he wasn't the only one left for dead by a well-backed stablemate at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) two weeks ago; Flat-bred gelding who is unraced beyond 2m1f, so will need to stay.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 5yo; standout form remains his second in a good-ground 2m4f handicap at Uttoxeter in July when in first-time cheekpieces; 3m perhaps too far the last time; has flopped on soft and been withdrawn on good to soft, so there are ground issues.

Won off 1lb higher over C&D (good) for the Newland/Insole stable in April but both runs for John and Rhys Flint this season were very disappointing and he was tailed off for latest new trainer this month; the return to this track is a big plus but it still takes a leap of faith to support him.
