Form & Verdict
Made a good start to his handicap career when third of 11 over 1m at Kempton last month, with the reopposing Newfangled behind in fifth; the winner followed up there this month, while the fourth was a close third at Redcar on Monday so the form looks solid; should be thereabouts.

Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps.

Quickened up best off a modest gallop at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) in August and just missed out at Epsom after a 4lb rise (1m2f, good to soft); nudged up another 2lb but seems better than ever right now, despite his high mileage.

The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level.
