Back to form when second of eight in 1m handicap at Newmarket 13 days ago; this C&D winner take a big step back up in trip now and must enter calculations off a reduced mark.

His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in three Flat runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he was sixth of seven over C&D last time and others are preferred.

Cost $435,000 as a yearling and related to several winners in America; underwhelming stuff thus far but it has been on slow ground and she could be seen in a very different light under these conditions on handicap debut; market informative.

Form & Verdict
Best maiden effort came on good ground at the Curragh, finishing seventh; failed to raise his profile on handicap debut at Leopardstown (1m2f), having been gelded, but the ground was heavy and he raced keenly; under these conditions and with blinkers tried, he's dangerous to dismiss.
