Form & Verdict
Confirmed the promise of his Pontefract debut effort when running away with a modest Ayr maiden two weeks ago (6f, good); he has been found another uncompetitive race here and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty.

Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-8 in handicaps but he's started to knock on the door from this reduced mark with a pair of third-place finishes this month; this is a better race but newly applied cheekpieces might eke out more.

Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-7 in handicaps but he's on a reduced mark and was a creditable third of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) two weeks ago; that was his best run for some time and he has claims if he can build on it.

Firmly on the up for his new stable, making all at Catterick before narrowly denied by Rotokura Belle over C&D; back to winning ways with a Newcastle success 15 days ago (much more convincing than the neck margin might suggest); up 6lb in a better race but he's a speedy and progressive 3yo who commands major respect.
