Form & Verdict
Struggled on his York debut (6f, good to soft) in May but he left that form miles behind when rallying well to go close at Wetherby (5.5f, good; 5-2) last month; pulled clear of the third in that race and he has leading claims on that form.

Gelded brother to an Italian 6f-1m (including 2yo) winner; attracted support into 15-2 on Carlisle debut (6f, soft) last month and he came from off the pace to beat a clear second with something in hand; has a penalty but that was a good start and he should improve for the experience.
