He has been revived by a switch to AW of late, finishing a close third at Wolverhampton (6f) last month before a dominant win back at that track 22 days ago; up 6lb but still feasibly weighted on his turf best; big player from a handy draw.

Much improved on stable debut and reappearance when justifying strong market support in 6f Catterick handicap (good ground; 15-8 favourite) last week; up in class, but 1lb well in under penalty; fair chance of following up.

Form & Verdict
Five starts last year, the pick of his form when narrowly winning 7f Newmarket novice (good ground) on third go; caught away from the main action and perhaps didn't handle soft ground when last seen in October; down in trip but has speedy pedigree and should have more to give for good yard; newly gelded.

Has started off very well for Michael Herrington, landing a big-field handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and going close in another at Thirsk (5f, good; Spring Is Sprung fourth, American Bay seventh) three weeks ago; a further 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing in his current mood, particularly with the promising Conor Whiteley taking 7lb off.

Ex-Karl Burke; raced ten times last year, notably winning 5f maiden and runner-up in 6f nursery (both on soft ground); 18-1 for intended reappearance/stable debut over 7f earlier this month when withdrawn for being unruly; probably needs rain, but unappealing even if so.
