Form & Verdict
Improved markedly on debut run (gelded in between) to score cosily at Southwell (6f, AW) last month, and the second and third have already boosted the form; needs more progress to follow up but he's clearly going the right way and must be considered.

Goes well at Newmarket; third to Double Rush at last season's Craven meeting (2lb better off today) before an impressive win in the 3yo handicap on this card; another promising run on his reappearance 17 days ago when finishing third, just over 5l behind Double Rush; has bigger days ahead of him but he may be battling for another minor placing.

Form & Verdict
Similar form when making winning debut at Tipperary (5f, soft; only start for Michael O'Callaghan) in May and when close third of five at Musselburgh (5f, good; wore tongue-strap) two weeks ago; should be suited by this longer trip; sets the standard for the others to aim at.
