Form & Verdict
Back on the up for his new yard this winter, unlucky in running over C&D on his penultimate start before making no mistake here 16 days ago; 4lb rise fair enough and he should get a good pace to aim at; leading contender.

Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted.

His two standout efforts have come in novice events over C&D but neither appeals as solid form and his handicap efforts have been far less convicing; the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt.
