Form & Verdict
Cost 72,000euros at the breeze-ups; overcame inexperience to win a 6f Naas maiden (yielding) for Gavin Cromwell and the runner-up went close in a Listed race at York's Ebor meeting; has the penalty but since snapped up by powerful owners and he could be useful.

Kept it low key in three 2yo runs at 6f but he's come back a better horse this year and a sustained run on handicap debut at Kempton (7f; AW) took him past a subsequent winner; kept on steadily when chasing home the front-runner at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since and this even stiffer finish should suit; up further 2lb; good claims.
