Form & Verdict
Two 5f handicap wins for Johnny Murtagh last year; made a promising start for new connections when a close fourth at Chelmsford (6f; tongue tied for the first time) ten weeks ago, involved in some scrimmaging in the straight; still has time to do better.

Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern.
