Form & Verdict
Well beaten in the Coventry last month but he was just 17-2 at Royal Ascot having shown considerable potential when beaten a short-head on his debut in the Dante meeting at York (6f, good), where he made an eyecatching move from off the pace to lead about a furlong out; Jamie Spencer could be the ideal jockey to get the best out of him and he's interesting contender.
