Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden but he's been beaten less than 2l in his two runs since wind surgery and the latest was behind an improver over C&D (good to firm; hood); still has potential as a handicapper and he should be in the mix again.

Sole success from 20 starts came at Brighton (7f) in May 2024; reportedly unsuited by front-running at Wolverhampton last month but he did shape more encouragingly under more patient tactics at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) 39 days ago.

Won a 6f (soft) classified event at Yarmouth in June and he got back on the scoresheet with a last-gasp win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on Monday; has a penalty back on turf but he remains well treated on old form and is versatile ground-wise; dangerous.

All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor.
