Form & Verdict
Expensive to follow in first seven starts but he's scored in cheekpieces in two of his last three runs, including a comfortable success at Pontefract (6f, soft) last Monday; this is tougher under a penalty but he's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player.

Had been expensive to follow but first-time cheekpieces did the trick when a clearcut winner at Brighton (maiden over an extended 5f; good); now 5lb higher than when narrowly held in his two previous handicaps but that rise is erased by Jack Callan's claim; soft ground a first.

Consistent yet frustrating sort who has a habit of finishing second and has been a beaten favourite on four occasions; comes with some risk but first-time headgear may enable him to go one better.

Narrowly justified favouritism in Catterick maiden (5f, good to firm) on final start under the care of Raphael Freire in June; solid effort, despite hanging, when third of eight in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) at the start of the month and far from discounted back down to 5f.

Just missed out in the Brocklesby (5f, good to soft) on his debut and ran well for second on his nursery debut at York in July (6f, good to firm; first run after a gelding operation); not so good on his last two starts but this is much weaker and he has to be high on the list.

Beaten a nose in the Brocklesby in March (5f, good to soft) and tapped back into that promise when close second on nursery debut at York (6f, good to firm); however, this is a hotter contest and he failed to shine in the Super Sprint two weeks ago (5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained).
