Form & Verdict
Won first turf handicap, over 1m here in April, and he's had more on his plate against improvers/unexposed rivals since, albeit he drew well clear with one on a four-timer at Ripon (good; first-time cheekpieces, retained) last time; had 7f form on AW; has less to prove than some.

Hinted at ability in three novices last term but looked very tricky in handicap at Beverley on reappearance, tailed off after pulling hard and hanging left; perhaps he was unsuited by the right-hand bend but he now has something to prove in a hood and cheekpieces.

Looked a sprinter to follow when a ready winner of second 3yo start, at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) recently but the way he coped with that stiff finish suggests he should be effective back at 7f too; dangerous.
