Form & Verdict
0-12 since winning a Dundalk maiden (1m, Polytrack) at the end of his 2yo season; has been popular in the market for his last three starts and although running well in the first two, that wasn't the case at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month; bit to prove.

Both wins have come on AW but he is effective on turf, as when third of 13 over 1m2f at Redcar last month (good to firm); 1lb lower today and should make a bold bid.

Twice successful on the AW at the start of the year and had dropped to just 1lb above his last winning mark when placed at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; up 1lb and this trip might just stretch him.

Form & Verdict
Only made his Flat debut in August and has been in fine form lately, his three wins including one over C&D; latest Newcastle success (1m4f, Tapeta) suggested he may not yet have reached his ceiling, so he should make a bold bid for the four-timer from another 5lb higher.
