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.

Down the field in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago but that was 6f and today's trip should suit better; shaped well over 1m here on stable debut and he's 5lb lower today; not impossible.

Three wins include one at this track over 1m and in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m) in June; solid efforts on his last couple of outings, the penultimate when runner-up over this C&D, and once again has each-way claims, although ground slower than good would pose a question mark.
