Form & Verdict
Had five defeats, though his only real blip was in a Listed race; gelded ahead of his return over 6f at Nottingham (good) and, although turned over at odds-on, he was beaten by his market rival who showed plenty last year; this looks a golden chance to get his head in front.

Good second over C&D in June before winning decisively at Pontefract the following month; not at his best here last month (5.4f, good) but he wasn't ideally drawn; still has relatively low mileage and needs consideration.

Two wins in small fields this summer and only six ran when he was second at Pontefract three weeks ago (5f, good to firm); showed he could be effective in a bigger field when second of 15 over 5f here in June but he's 9lb higher today.

Weakened into sixth after making the running in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Redcar (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and now 0-15 but drops from 0-70 grade here and can't be ruled out off latest career-low mark.

13-race maiden but he has finished runner-up three times; mostly disappointing this year but it was a respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft; Idyllic was second) last time; this extra furlong doesn't look sure to suit, however.
