Form & Verdict
Off for just over a year but turned in a much-improved effort on second start (first-time hood) to justify the market confidence at Kempton in May; runner-up that day has since won and finished second in the Group 3 Jersey; penalty to carry but the one to beat back on grass.

Won twice in novice company (7f) for Roger Varian; yet to win a handicap but he has run two sound races (1m and 7f) for his new stable; returns to 6f for the first time since his debut and he should have enough pace to cope.
