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.

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.

Both wins have been on AW (1m/7f) and latest was at Southwell in April; still 3lb higher than for that success but he resumed his progress with a bold bid over 7f at Kempton (second of 13) last time; pulled clear of the third in that race and he's respected back up in trip.

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.

Second past the post in a division of this last year (later awarded the race); below his best on his first two starts this year but got back to winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago after a gelding operation; likely player even with 5lb penalty, particularly if the ground is softer than good.
