Has improved steadily with each run and the front two came clear when a workmanlike winner at Newmarket (1m, good; 13-8); the runner-up was third of nine on his next start; 7lb rise demands that he improves some more but that's very feasible.

Fourth straight defeat at 2-1 or shorter when inclined to hang left on soft ground on his first attempt at this trip last time; too soon to write him off back from a seven-week break but there can only be so many excuses.

Good seventh of 23 here in the Cambridgeshire when second home on his side; not much went right on UAE debut at Meydan (1m, good) in January but he was a solid fifth of 16 over that C&D a fortnight later and is now back down to his last winning mark; C&D winner who looks a key player.

Won two in a row in May (1m, good; including here); merely midfield at Goodwood 34 days ago but that was his first run for three months and he may have needed it; not discounted in view of previous, progressive form.

Form & Verdict
Couple of expensive defeats, latterly from a wide stall at Wolverhampton, and no certainty the step up to a stiff 1m will suit on his turf debut back from three months off, despite stamina on the dam's side; interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Has mixed record in his six starts but he went very close with a hood added in a Doncaster handicap (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 3lb but he pulled clear of the third last time and that was only his second run on turf; key player.

Pulled hard in front in first-time headgear when last seen ten months ago and the cheekpieces aren't the only thing to have come off, with him since gelded; worth a market check.

Fair comeback recently, having been gelded, and is now tried in a visor (pulled hard in cheekpieces last summer); is yet to get involved in a finish and it's possible he just started handicap life on an unrealistic mark.
