Form & Verdict
Improved form on handicap debut when finishing well to force a dead-heat at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack; 3-1) in January; only 1lb higher on his return and the rival he shared the prize with last time has form figures 2221235 since then; key player.

Dual AW winner who has been in fair form back on turf (1m2f) in his last three runs; needs to find something extra to defy this mark but he's still lightly raced and has shaped as though this new trip could suit; dangerous with cheekpieces added.

Won his first two AW handicaps (1m/9.5f) earlier in the year and, despite an 8lb rise, he ran well to finish fourth of 14 on turf debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) four weeks ago (third has won since); major player.

Well held in all four runs but he made some late headway after stumbling on his nursery debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 9-2) last August; returns after a lengthy absence but he has some stamina in his good pedigree and needs watching in market at this new trip.
