Form & Verdict
Placed in each of his three runs for J-C Rouget in France last year (7f-1m, good, very soft and heavy), showing a tendency to race freely and drift right under pressure; badly squeezed out in the final furlong at Bordeaux in November, after which he was sold for 69,000euros; going right-handed should be beneficial on his stable debut and he's one to take seriously.

Raced wide when down the field at Pontefract (1m, good) recently and ran well when fourth of eight at Beverley (7.3f, soft) previously; however, he's had an inconsistent year and is untested at today's distance.

Made all at Yarmouth (good to firm) on his April return and it was a fine effort when third at Newbury (also 1m2f, good) a fortnight later; couldn't maintain his lead in better events subsequently but this drop back in grade should see him last longer.

Promise in both AW starts, more recently keeping on well behind one who has defied a penalty since (1m); open to further progress and he is his Newmarket trainer's only runner on the card (five runners at Musselburgh to date have recorded one win, two seconds and two thirds).
