Form & Verdict
Off the mark (fifth attempt) when finishing well to lead close home on his step up to 1m6f at Wetherby (soft; Believitanducan third) last month; up 5lb but he overcame trouble to beat a clear second last time and is open to more progress at staying trips; big player.

Struggled in three maidens but he ran well for a long way upped to 1m6f on handicap debut when third at Wetherby (soft) last month; was 4l behind The Crafty Mole in that race but that was after 163 days off and he should benefit from the run; in the mix.

Made a successful hurdles/stable debut at Newbury (2m, soft) in December (first two clear), but finished a tailed-off last of six finishers behind East India Dock in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) the following month; back in calmer waters here and, being a 2m winner on the Flat, this longer trip should suit; major player.

0-9 and all of his runs have been on AW; fair fourth in 1m4f Lingfield handicap last month but he's not easy to predict and was a remote last of five at Wolverhampton last time; has something to prove again after that major blip and this trip is unknown territory.
