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.

He's tended to ply his trade in Group and Listed races and he was a Listed winner at Longchamp (7f, good to soft) last May; beaten just under 4l when seventh of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his first handicap start and this is less competitive; could be in the mix.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing.
