Form & Verdict
Gelded prior to comfortable success at Bath (1m, heavy; off 8lb lower) on seasonal debut, adding to his 2yo wins at Catterick; the only runner who has the benefit of recent match practice and has to be feared despite going right-handed for the first time.

Last season concluded with a Listed win at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) and he's run some good races in defeat this year, the best of them at Chester (1m2f, good) in May when third in the Group 2 Huxley Stakes; returns from a break and he's a leading form contender.

Won juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) on New Year's Day and made the frame in Listed race and series final over that C&D on next two starts (both good to soft); has fitness to prove after six-month absence but could still have more improvement to come over hurdles.

Inconsistent and has failed to shine on last two starts but may have been unsuited by soft ground then Tapeta; runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August then fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) where he was denied a clear run, and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort.

Looked unfortunate when beaten less than a length into second of seven at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month and didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) since; acts on ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft; still 2lb below last winning mark; a player.
