Form & Verdict
Made a successful debut at Pontefract in April (5f, good to soft) but wasn't seen again until last month when only fourth of six under a penalty at Goodwood (6f, soft); drawn wide for nursery/AW debut and this mark looks no gift; cheekpieces added.

Looked an exciting prospect when winning two Tapeta handicaps (5f) this winter; possible to excuse his three defeats since (poorly drawn first two and then ended up in the middle of the track at Epsom three weeks ago); has something to prove on fast ground but it's unlikely this mark will be beyond him; usual cheekpieces are back on after one go in blinkers.

Looked a sprinter going places in the winter, coming from off pace to win at Wolverhampton and Southwell, and although unplaced twice since there have been excuses; now drops back to 5f (3-3 at the trip) and wears blinkers instead of cheekpieces; should be suited by a well-run race; interesting.
