Form & Verdict
Beaten a neck on sole C&D run (good to soft; first-time hood) about a year ago and he's been in good nick this term, beaten under 2l both starts, latterly at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; same mark and should make his presence felt.

Progressive since these cheekpieces went on, winning at Doncaster (5.5f, good) and Epsom (6f, good) and finishing a close third of 16 to Eternal Sunshine at Thirsk (6f, good) recently despite having to wait for a clear run; he's right at home on slow ground and could play a leading role.

Off the mark on his fourth start for this yard when beating five others at Brighton (5.5f) in May; warm in the market that day and backed it up with a solid third at Bath (5f, also good) 20 days ago; thereabouts again.

Just one win from 24 starts but that was off 9lb higher at Brighton (5.3f, good) last spring; losing run is up to 13 but he's run some solid races on AW this year including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; seems tactically versatile and he's an interesting contender back in trip after a short break.

Form & Verdict
The sole 3yo; no chance on this year's form over 7f, 1m and 1m2f; however, his best run came when beaten a nose in a C&D novice (good to soft) last year, so this huge drop back in trip means he has to be given a second look; first-time cheekpieces; watch the market.

August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though.
