Form & Verdict
The blinkers experiment didn't work in July but he's won both AW outings since his debut, over C&D (maiden) and with authority at Wolverhampton (about 1m; second has won since) last month; hung left there, possibly away from the whip, but a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond him; respected.

His hat-trick over 1m in June included one on Chelmsford Polytrack and although up in the weights since he ran into a progressive one at Doncaster in July and is likely to be suited by the return to 1m after well held over 7f last month; seems to handle Tapeta and in the mix.

Not yet off the mark but his turn is surely near, some close calls over 1m include one on Kempton AW (to one who has won twice since) and at Ripon last month; interesting to see which way first-time cheekpieces tip him on Tapeta debut.
