He was having just his second handicap run when comfortably seeing off six rivals at Haydock (1m6f, good; for today's rider) 24 days ago; unlikely his revised mark will prove beyond him in time; shortlist material.

Useful bumper winner; has been brought along steadily in this sphere, a patiently ridden seventh in 1m4f Kempton novice 26 days ago; looks capable of a fair bit better now going handicapping and not without interest.

Form & Verdict
Unconsidered 150-1 shot for his C&D debut 17 days ago but shaped okay, keeping on in the straight to finish sixth (beaten just over 2l); that race was steadily run early though and he'll need a step forward to trouble the principals.
