Form & Verdict
Overcame inexperience to win on his debut last April (5f, good to soft); absent for 174 days and looked to find 6f on soft ground stretching him at Goodwood in October; showed his true colours when fitted with cheekpieces for his nursery debut at Wolverhampton six weeks ago, overcoming the widest stall to beat Cotai Vision in emphatic fashion; that form has been boosted left, right and centre and a 9lb rise may well not prove beyond him.

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.

Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind.
