Form & Verdict
0-16 but he was having a rare outing over 1m2f when keeping on for fourth at Newcastle (AW) in March on his final run for Antony Brittain; on that evidence this step up in trip is worth a go on today's stable debut and he's not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie; cheekpieces are left off.

Both wins have come over 1m4f at Beverley and latest was in May; several creditable efforts since that last success including when a 2l third at Redcar (1m6f, good) last time; this is a deeper race but she's still unexposed at this trip and shouldn't be far away.
