Form & Verdict
Went close at Haydock (1m, good) last September on debut; that's easily his best form but efforts at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) and Windsor (1m2f, good to soft; when 4-7, gelded since) still make him easily the form pick.

Went close last September on debut; disappointing on next two starts but he returned from a gelding operation to win easily in a maiden at Hamilton (1m1f, good) five weeks ago; that was at 1-5 and this handicap debut is a far sterner test; likely to stay.

Two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is 2lb lower than for the latest of them; unplaced on his recent return from a six-month absence; can take a step forward today but others are still more appealing for win purposes.
