Rattled off a fast-ground 6f hat-trick this summer but the wheels came off in her bid for a four-timer at Nottingham in August, finding little when asked for her effort; could resume her progress after nine weeks off but she'll need to.

Form & Verdict
All three starts on the AW, finishing third of eight on his Wolverhampton debut (7f) in January but well held in two outings over 5f at Chelmsford (hooded last time); bred to be better than that and he's worth a market check on handicap/turf debut.
