Has won on heavy; 4-14 at this venue and he was bang there when taking minor honours here over 1m3f and 1m5f on last two outings; one of many each-way players in a hot race.

Pulls hard, including since the hood went on last autumn; he is exposed but last three outings (about 1m4f) have shown that he's capable of being on the premises; gelded since latest.

Sole success came at Wolverhampton AW in January off 5lb higher mark; best run on turf when second at Hamilton (1m4f, good) in July; below that level in three runs since and yet to run on ground worse than good to soft; hood is back on after being discarded last time.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at 17th attempt when winning by a neck over C&D and he followed up by same margin in three-way finish over 1m5f here (again on good) 13 days later in June; blinkers were reinstated for those two outings; back up another 2lb but he's turned a corner and may have more in the tank.

Still a maiden after nine races but he's come down the weights and kept on well to go down by a head when front-running second of nine at Newcastle (AW) last time, when stepped up to 2m in second-time visor; that suggests he can make the breakthrough as a stayer.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; close up in May in his first two handicaps (1m2f and 1m4f) but hung right in the latter after making most; well beaten in Class 3 next time and although his C&D fourth of six last time was respectable, he probably needs overall improvement.

Sole success when beating Albert Lasker by 6l in a Catterick novice (1m4f, good to firm) last August and he made a promising return when third of six behind a subsequent winner at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely he still has more to come and respected.

Modest form on last two starts when fourth of nine at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) and fifth of eight at this track (1m3f, good to firm); now qualified for handicaps and should be more interesting but whether he's ready to take a winning step forward may be in doubt.
