Form & Verdict
Both runs last year came in maidens here (7f, good), winning gamely by half a length on the second occasion; extra furlong shouldn't be a problem now making his handicap debut after seven months off and the market should be revealing; stable also runs Just A Gambler.

Signed off last term by landing a Musselburgh maiden (7f) and reappeared at that track when making a winning handicap debut (1m, also good) in April; raised to this mark when only sixth at Beverley next time but softer conditions were a plausible excuse; not dismissed back on a sounder surface with William Buick taking over.

Steadily progressive and having been gelded he did it nicely when making a successful handicap/seasonal debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; 3lb rise doesn't look harsh now returned to turf and high on list from the rails draw.

Seven races last year for David Loughnane and sole win in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW) in October in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept when never dangerous in his two starts since; latest was stable/seasonal debut (25-1) and maybe he needed that run, but others have more pressing claims.

Mainly consistent in six starts as a 2yo without appearing to progress, going closest when beaten a head in a Salisbury seller (7f, heavy) in September; returns from six months off and will need to step up, especially from his wide draw; stable also runs Kameko Fever.
