Form & Verdict
Has good pedigree and he showed some promise in three runs for Clive Cox last year, including a debut fourth over C&D; changed hands for 26,000gns in October; this unexposed 4yo now goes handicapping for new yard and he needs watching in the market on return.

Bright start for new yard when getting up late to make a winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW; 20-1) in May; backed it up from 2lb higher when second of 13 over that C&D in June; three-month absence to overcome but he's unexposed; turf debut.
