Form & Verdict
No show on last August's Nottingham debut (6f, good to soft), but took a big step forward when making just about all at Southwell (7f, AW) the following month (race produced winners); not seen since and has been gelded, but he has been found a particularly uncompetitive novice in which to make his reappearance.

Won two of his three starts in novice company, one of them on Tapeta; beaten off this mark on last month's handicap debut but it was after a 227-day break and the yard was a bit quiet at the time; that's not the case now and this unexposed 4yo retains potential.

Useful three-time Flat winner (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; his Ludlow run from off the pace was encouraging and he then won comfortably under a more forward ride at Southwell (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); carries a penalty but has clear claims.

Two wins this year, latest at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower than today; among the backmarkers on his last three outings, trying cheekpieces on first occasion and a hood on latest (joining the usual tongue-tie); does without either tonight but he's too inconsistent for comfort.

No impact in a handful of turf handicaps this summer but different proposition back on AW and with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie (combination retained) when seeing off 13 rivals over C&D 17 days ago; only nudged up 2lb and will be very competitive if in a similar mood.

Can be a handful in the preliminaries (bolted before start/got loose on two occasions) but was never seriously challenged when making all on Lingfield AW (7f) 18 days ago; back up 3lb and might cope with return to 6f with forcing tactics again; more obvious than many.
