Form & Verdict
Needs to rebound from disappointing effort in 7f Chester seller three weeks ago but kept on well to win 6f Redcar maiden (good to firm) two starts ago and will be hard to beat here if somewhere near that form.

12-race maiden but he was in pretty good heart this spring on his two starts for Stephen Hanlon (6f, AW/good) and shaped each time as though this return to 7f could be a positive move; possible player.

Placed a few times for Jennie Candlish but last of ten at Southwell (6f) in January on final run for that yard; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from intended stable debut at Newcastle this month (9-2 at the time) when all headgear was removed (same today); might be best watched.
