Form & Verdict
13-2 when second of 13 behind a subsequent winner on his Redcar debut (5f, good to firm) in May (stumbled over 1f out); absence since then a slight concern, but that was a promising start and he is a half-brother to two AW winners, so one to take seriously.

Won twice on AW last year but he took his form to a new level when fourth of 14 in a York sales race last October (7f, good); lumped up 11lb for that but showed there was no fluke about the performance by finishing second in a C&D handicap on his reappearance 16 days ago (behind Sovereign Spell); didn't look in love with the track on that occasion but he is on an upward path and remains unexposed as a sprinter; 4lb rise demands more though.
