Form & Verdict

C&D winner who has been well held in both starts since returning in March, but is back off the same mark as when landing the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, good to soft) last September; well backed then, so market support would again make him of interest here.

Bellewstown maiden winner (5f, good to yielding) for John McConnell last July and not beaten far on handicap debut there next time; changed hands for 38,000gns in the autumn and now makes his stable debut after 249 days off; still unexposed and the market should reveal more.

Form & Verdict

Both course wins have come over 7f including from 3lb higher (soft) last summer, but his other four successes have come over this trip; ran well when third of 13 on his return from six months off at Ripon (6f, heavy) 16 days ago, albeit 5l behind Illusionist; claims if building on that.
