Form & Verdict
In-form 3yo maiden who is threatening to win a race of this nature, having finished a solid second in two Newcastle events since dropped to 7f, latest when beaten only a whisker by a rival who was completing a C&D hat-trick; could well defy a 5lb rise and go one better.

Largely consistent 2024 form includes a game win at York (7f) in July; creditable third over C&D most recently and ties in with King's School on that effort; record is just 1-13 but he's firmly in the mix.
