Form & Verdict
Unraced on Tapeta but close calls and fair form in all three races since his debut, over 7f on Polytrack and 6f/7f on soft turf, tending to run around when losing second place near the line at Lingfield (refitted hood, as today) this month; this lesser test can suit; solid chance.

Smart sprinting pedigree and he began career with two promising 6f runs on Polytrack as 2yo, having to work from some way out at Kempton in November but keeping on stoutly for second of 11; should do better as a 3yo but the seven-month break raises a question.

Much better over hurdles than on the Flat, finishing second on first two runs in this code (2m1f/2m, heavy/good); prominent when unseating three out at Ascot (1m7f, soft) last time; he's one to consider.

Promising start when a never-nearer close third of 11 on Southwell Tapeta (6f; 50-1) in November but the swift return may have counted against him when a beaten favourite at Kempton one week later; off since; chance on debut form.
