Form & Verdict
Rated 87 after six starts, making him comfortably the top rated in the field; took the runner-up spot behind a Ballydoyle hotpot in a 10.5f course maiden in September; sent off the 4-5 favourite on the back of that last time, but ran disappointingly (reported to have scoped badly); should have too much for these at his best; previously worn hood is now left off.

Form & Verdict
Well held in handicap runs, but solid efforts in maidens of late, although a 10.5l seventh over C&D last time was a step backwards; has been gelded since then; may get involved in what looks a weak race.
