Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on his second at Goodwood (6f, good) last August but he's lost his way in last four runs and was beaten 14l over C&D three weeks ago; record is now 0-10 and he has a lot to prove from tough draw.

Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty.

26-race maiden but did remarkably well to snatch second behind Big Time Rascal over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday, when breaking awkwardly and pulling hard; clearly not the most straightforward and another change of headgear is tried but should go close if he gets the breaks.

Shaped well on his stable debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February but hamstrung by slow starts on his next three starts; further blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Windsor in May; well backed back at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago and again not foot perfect leaving the stalls but he overcame some adversity (stumbled early and had to be switched in the straight) to win going away; little doubt he has the ability to defy his penalty but there are risks attached.
