Form & Verdict
Made a blistering start for Tony Carroll last winter, winning six handicaps (including over C&D); struggled initially after a summer break but he's back in the groove now, getting the better of Charlie's Choice at Wolverhampton last month; up 3lb but should make another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
The hot favourite underperformed when he ran out the easy winner of a 1m novice at Kempton in November but he had hinted at ability in his first two starts and it wouldn't pay to think he was flattered; makes his handicap debut at a realistic level; betting useful.
