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.

Has a patchy profile but he won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March and was a strong-finishing second at Pontefract (1m, good) last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a key player on this step back up in trip.

Made all on good to firm at Newbury (1m; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in July and doubled his tally when picking up AW handicap (1m2f) in March; raced freely when underwhelming on last two starts but drops in grade and has already dipped below his last winning mark.

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.

4yo who has won on AW in two of his last three runs including on Southwell reappearance (7f; first run since gelded) two weeks ago; up another 4lb but this return to 1m is no problem and he's shown clear promise on fast and slow ground on turf; shortlisted.

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.
