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.

Form & Verdict
Won her first two handicaps over 1m on the AW in the spring, but probably put up an even better effort when beaten less than 2l into fourth of 13 at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month; would have gone even closer with a clearer run and one to be interested in.

Unraced on softer than good; won four of her seven handicaps, the latest win in good style under Millie Wonnacott at Newbury in July; easily her worst display in those races, however, came off this 8lb higher mark at Windsor (again 1m2f on good to firm) on her only start since, when reportedly fractious in the preliminaries; needs to bounce back with another improved show.

Five Flat wins in UK and ran respectably in two autumn Flat starts for this yard after 100,000gns purchase; previous efforts over hurdles were modest but there was promise in his run at Down Royal (2m2f, good) earlier this month when staying on for fourth; entitled to improve over that return; contender.
