Form & Verdict
Sprung a 150-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in July and he's shown that was no fluke with two second placings since; needs more to defy new mark but there could be more to come over 1m.

Form & Verdict
Took his record to 0-5 when unable to justify favouritism in a 1m nursery at Kempton three weeks ago but he did best of the prominent racers in that contest (also squeezed up and lost ground in the final furlong) and the addition of blinkers could spark extra from him; high on the list.
