Form & Verdict
Well-bred gelding who showed plenty of ability when second of 12 on his Newcastle debut (7f, Tapeta) last month, finishing a head in front of Jodhpur Blue; made his effort away from the other principals so that effort can be marked up further; the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Some promise in his first two starts at Salisbury (6f/7f) during the summer, but took a step forward when third of 12 at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; may struggle to reverse placings with Trident, who finished a head in front of him there and was making his debut, but still a player in this field.

It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance.
