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.

Successful five times on AW in 2024; far less productive this year, latterly on turf, albeit wasn't disgraced last time; attractively treated back in this sphere, being 2lb below last winning mark.

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.

Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him.

Massive prices and not finished within 13l of the winner in three starts over 6f/7f on Tapeta this year; longer trip should suit on breeding and might show a bit more now handicapping; market may indicate if that is likely.
