Form & Verdict
Sole win in 6f maiden as 2yo; had a difficult 3yo season but he wasn't far away in well-contested races at 1m and 7f (on good) last spring and is much lower in the weights now; can improve on a respectable reappearance on the AW 11 days ago now back on turf; every chance.

Drew a blank last year but came down the weights, won over 7f on AW in February and competitive over 1m in two recent outings; case can be made but others have a bit less to prove in this big-field scenario.

Not at the top of his game on AW on his last three starts but he won off today's mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February and his sole run here yielded a C&D win in May 2024; versatile ground-wise; not written off.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on final 3yo start and he had only one rival to beat for his sole win in a 1m Brighton maiden, but he has C&D form and a second of ten in a Goodwood handicap (1m, soft) in October is quite encouraging form for this level; gelded since last seen; in the mix.
