Form & Verdict
Not much in three starts over 5f/6f in the autumn, but having been gelded and switched to cheekpieces from a hood he just managed to get the better of Eccentric on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; well backed) last month; only 2lb higher and this slightly stiffer test should suit on pedigree; respected.

Five-time AW scorer at up to 1m2f; seemingly a non-stayer over 1m4f/1m6f since switched to turf; this drop back in trip is a plus and he's competitively treated off 1lb below last winning mark.

All eight starts on Polytrack, finishing placed in three outings over 1m last month including when beaten half a length by Con Te Partiro at Kempton; didn't seem to stay when sixth of seven over 1m2f at Lingfield on Thursday, but each-way claims if turning out again back down in trip.

Placed in six of his eight starts since getting off the mark at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack; only start in a hood) last September, including when 2l behind Eccentric at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; needs a bit more to regain winning ways despite a 1lb drop.

Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive.
