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.

Better on turf than a 1-21 record might suggest; two recent backward steps (never travelling here latest) but recorded a pair of near misses here before those, including over C&D off 2lb higher.

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.

Fine efforts in defeat over 5f the last twice, albeit no match for Billy Webster late on at Wolverhampton on the former occasion; should run her race but others perhaps boast more potential.
