Form & Verdict
In need of the experience on his 2yo debut last summer (7f, good to firm); two promising efforts on AW this winter, finishing second at Lingfield and Kempton (both 7f); sets a clear standard for his rivals to aim at and looks pacy enough to be fully effective at 6f.

Both wins over 6f on the AW but he confirmed he stays this far at Doncaster (good) in June, when chasing home one who is going the right way; looks likely to have more to offer.

Dual 6f AW winner this year, latterly in valuable Lingfield handicap in April; didn't run badly when back on turf at Ascot last month (race won by Up The Pace) but needs to find something extra on this return to 7f.

Improved for the switch to handicaps, winning well at Kempton in April and showing better form when second of 12 at Chester two weeks ago (6f, good); had a wider trip than the winner on that latest occasion (caught seven wide around the first bend) and has just a 1lb rise; unraced on faster than good but remains open to further progress.

Came away with a subsequent winner off 6lb lower on his handicap debut (Polytrack) in April; inclined to pull hard when held up in a race not run to suit on his turf debut latest and is better than able to show there.

In the frame in three novice/maiden events and he made an immediate impact in handicaps when scoring at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; up 6lb but that was a major step forward last time and he's open to more progress; respected on turf debut.

Well beaten in one 2yo start but he was strong in the market prior to his reappearance over C&D two weeks ago and offered more, albeit put in his place by the easy winner; may do better again but such progress is a must.

Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when very close second at Kempton (7f, AW) in April, his second handicap; not quite in same form at Southwell later that month but looks worth a crack at 1m and has possibilities if he responds well to blinkers on this turf debut.
