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.

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.
