Form & Verdict
Not devoid of ability and was placed at Southwell (1m, AW) last October; not far off that level on his reappearance at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW), when running in snatches and a beaten favourite; more needed from the same mark.

Needs to put a poor performance at Chelmsford (1m5f, AW) last time behind him, but his record here this year (1m2f/11.5f) reads 131, both wins coming on good to firm ground; respected back at this venue, but easing ground could be a negative.

Has shown glimpses of ability but been unable to capitalise, his best effort being over 7f at Haydock (good to firm) last August; was probably a bit too free on his reappearance; could be better for that run, the drop in grade and this return to further but has that to prove.
