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.

All five races on good or slower; middling form on first three starts but was all the better for the step up to 1m2f on final two runs and his stamina was much in evidence when forging clear in a Nottingham handicap (good to soft), despite running green; needs to have come on a ton over the winter to play a part and the track and good to firm ground are other queries.

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.
