Course winner who is in a consistent vein of form this term, placing in handicaps over 1m1f and 1m here (both good) on his last two outings; this longer trip asks a different question but he's likely to be on the premises again if his stamina holds.

Form & Verdict
Similar level of modest form in three novice runs on turf as a 2yo (6f-7f); gelded prior to this reappearance/handicap debut and he's bred to be better than a Class 6 handicapper; betting useful.
