Plenty of ability on turf in all three runs (6f) last August-October, runner-up at Yarmouth in last two; yard had a well-backed novice winner on Wednesday with a 4yo on first run since July, making his AW debut like this 3yo; the one to beat on form.

It was a useful Newmarket maiden (6f, good) in which he kept on encouragingly for fourth in August and, with improvement on the cards, he should be in the mix.

Form & Verdict
11-2, overcame a slow start to launch a winning challenge down the outside in a ten-runner restricted novice event over C&D on New Year's Eve; penalised and probably needs to improve but that was a promising debut.

Ran once for George Scott and twice for new yard; best effort when third of five in C&D novice five weeks ago, coming from last at 66-1; needs to build on that but good chance for minor honours at the least.

Encouraging fifth at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last July in sole run for George Scott; gelded afterwards and changed hands for 5,000gns; returned for new yard at Kempton (7f Polytrack) last month but was always in rear and finished a remote ninth at a biggish price; can only be watched after that low-key effort.
