Form & Verdict
Dropped to this trip for his handicap debut at Southwell 18 days ago and he came with a strong late run to lead close home (form franked); 3lb rise not excessive and although this track presents a different test, and his inside stall will mean he needs some luck, he's thoroughly unexposed; gelded since the win.

Two encouraging efforts on turf this summer (6f, good) and last week's lesser run came in a Class 5 over 5f on his first experience of soft ground; should be seen to better effect back at this level but the widest draw isn't ideal.
