2-4 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; different test here but he did run well in his one previous visit to Ripon; one of three runners for Tim Easterby.

Form & Verdict

Has shown clear promise in his light career, notably when third (met trouble) at Doncaster in June (6f, good to firm); never going the pace in a York Class 4 nine weeks ago (5.4f, good) but he remains capable of better and this is a drop in grade; unraced on slower than good but he's by Mayson and out of a winning mare who handled heavy; one to consider.
