Form & Verdict
Close third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on return, denied a clear run; favourite off this mark again over C&D (good) 17 days later but never looked like threatening and carried his head a bit awkwardly; better than he's shown and cheekpieces go on.

Scored at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March but not proving the easiest to catch right since, finishing just a fair third of six at Brighton (1m) 16 days ago; others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Five starts in total, faring clearly best when second in his two AW outings (7f/1m); ninth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (1m, good) last time, from a wide draw admittedly but it still suggests that a 2lb drop will not make all the difference.

Nine-race maiden, placed in 7f handicaps on two of his last three outings; latest was at this track (good to firm) where his head carriage in first-time cheekpieces seemed to suggest he had second thoughts but he did run on, so this first crack at 1m now looks in order.

Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction.
