Form & Verdict
From a family the stable have enjoyed plenty of success with; improved on his novice/maiden form when getting up late in a 7f handicap here in April (first run after a gelding operation; wore a hood for the first time); did really well to peg back the front-runner there and given that rival is now rated 8lb higher, a 3lb rise looks lenient; returns to 6f with his best days still ahead of him.
