Form & Verdict
In good form in the first half of the year, including wins at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) and Goodwood (1m, good), but has just come up short off similar marks in his last three starts; probably needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

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.

Won over 7f here and at Wetherby (good to firm) earlier in the year, but pulled his chance away on handicap debut at Sandown (7f, good to firm) in July; off 80 days and will need to settle better if he is to see out the extra furlong on his return.

Talented on AW and had more in hand than the narrow winning margin suggests when arriving late on the scene at Wolverhampton (about 1m) in November; was carried out of his ground when starting a forward move over C&D (good to firm) recently and has to be of interest in this lower grade.
