All turf races at sprint trips on good to firm and good, vigorously ridden when making all at Windsor last August from one who went on to better things; a similarly useful effort when runner-up on Kempton AW in October but he lacks a recent run and has a new trip to contend with.

Form & Verdict
Didn't live up to market expectations on Wolverhampton debut but he left that form well behind when runner-up at Chepstow (5f, good) 11 days ago; still looked inexperienced in that race but he kept on well in the closing stages and this step up in trip looks a good move; respected.

Six-race maiden; runner-up at Kempton (7f novice, AW) in June, and third of five at Chester (7f nursery, good) a few weeks later; latest run was disappointing (last of four) and it is slightly disconcerting to see him drop into a seller in hastily applied blinkers; bit to prove.

0-5; shaped well when running on for third of five at Chester (7f) on his handicap debut last month, and a heavy-ground defeat at Goodwood since is probably worth forgiving; the step up to 1m could suit and the return to AW is no problem (runner-up here in June).
