No win in five starts on turf, but he made it 3-7 on AW when scoring over 7f here in June; a disappointing effort over 6f at Southwell since needs forgiving but he has the best strike-rate in this field.

Came good over 6f at Pontefract in the spring; mostly creditable efforts since but faded a bit too far out to blame lack of stamina alone over 1m at Southwell on Thursday.

Consistent and is well drawn for one happiest up front; respected at this lower level but his stamina just gave way on his first crack at 1m a fortnight ago; will need to settle better if he's to see it out.

Should be sharper for last month's return from a short break but his best form has come over shorter trips and others may have greater reserves of stamina.

Form & Verdict
Rewarded strong market support back from a gelding operation when asserting late on at Lingfield (7f) a fortnight ago; raced too freely out wide when only fourth over 1m there last week; worth another chance back at 7f with first-time cheekpieces (replacing visor) combined with the tongue-tie this time.

Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way.

Emphatic winner in first-time visor for Joseph Parr at Lingfield (7f) in January and signed off for him with two pretty good fourths on Polytrack in February/March; subsequently changed hands for 2,800gns; big player if he responds well to first-time blinkers on stable debut.
