Form & Verdict
Placed in a bumper and a maiden hurdle before a lengthy spell on the sidelines; his 5l defeat at Market Rasen when returning makes for positive reading and when stepped up to 2m4f back there he was perhaps unsuited by the soft ground; stamina for this far is unproven and his pedigree casts some doubts on that score, but he's up there in terms of pure talent.
