Form & Verdict
Second run came in the valuable Convivial maiden at York; second favourite when winning from the front in a seven-runner novice at Ayr (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, mostly in a clear lead before holding off the 4-7 favourite by a neck; bred to stay 1m2f+; open to further improvement.

Made all in an Ayr novice (1m, good to soft) in September, his third start, and that form has worked out; fluffed his lines when favourite for a 1m2f nursery at Nottingham one month later; has left Adrian Keatley and makes his stable/seasonal debut in a competitive race; not fully exposed and it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

33-1, dropped in trip when winning an eight-runner novice at Thirsk (7f, soft) on third start, coming from towards rear to catch Sovereign Wealth in the final strides; bred to stay 1m2f; needs further improvement.

33-1 winner of a 7f novice at Thirsk last September; improved form from off the pace again in all three handicaps since, this season's over 1m4f at Doncaster and York; the latter was a warm race in which he shaped as if a return to 1m2f would be fine; up 4lb but on the shortlist.

Four races, best when third of eight in a maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) last time; has proved his stamina but needs further improvement on this first crack at a handicap.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when streaking clear of six rivals at Wolverhampton 23 days ago (8.6f); not sure he needed to improve to win that modest affair (2-9 favourite) but earlier Wolverhampton second showed he could compete off this sort of mark.

Sprung a 16-1 surprise on his nursery debut at Leicester in July (7f, good to firm); two lesser efforts have followed but he faced a stiff task back at 6f at York's Ebor meeting three weeks ago; some encouragement for 1m on dam's side of pedigree but he's by a sprinter and it remains to be seen if he'll see it out, especially were the ground to deteriorate markedly.
