3 yo Colt

OR: 75

Form & Verdict
Now 0-10 but he has several fair efforts to his name, although his latest 7l fourth of six in a novice at Yarmouth (6f, soft) wasn't one of them; likely to be thereabouts but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to the lightly raced winners in this line-up.

Well backed when making winning stable debut at Bath (5f, good to firm) in April but hasn't repeated the form in two runs since, favourite each time; just as effective at 6f but needs to get back on track.

A win and two seconds from first three starts but it's been more challenging in handicaps; below form sole start on good to firm; third of seven at Hamilton (6f, good) 16 days ago was a step back in the right direction.

A win, on debut, and two seconds from his first three starts but things have been more challenging since handicapping; that said, his reappearance over 5f at Catterick 12 days ago was promising with a view to returning to this trip; dropped 2lb too; yard in form; big player.

Soft-ground winner on debut last summer, which gives hope back from seven months off; held a few times in handicaps latterly, though, and has only run over 6f to date, so would want to see a bit of market confidence on the drop to 5f.

Slowly away both starts (jockey lost a stirrup on debut) and pulled hard last time, hence the application of a hood and removal of other equipment; yard (also runs Miami Hills) is going well and he's one to keep an eye on but maybe more once handicapping.
