Form & Verdict
Both starts in September, winning at Leicester (7f, good) then respectable second at Bath (1m, good to form); gives the impression he may need headgear or further still but is otherwise still unexposed.

Came up shy in his first two handicaps (1m, good) but he was a big market mover when repelling stablemate Langstone in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (1m, good to firm); that was courtesy of a canny front-running ride by Saffie Osborne and he's gone up 9lb to boot; there's a suspicion that he might have left his Britannia chance in Cumbria.

Produced consistent form figures (322) and steadily progressive RPRs last season, running well at Salisbury (1m, good) the final time; solid handicap debutant and going one better is far from implausible.

Yet to run a bad race as the sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) on handicap debut was a close one; back over 7f there and sent off the 4-11 favourite, he romped home by the thick end of 10l to earn today's 11lb higher mark; that rise asks serious questions, but he has the wind in his sails and Oisin Murphy would have had options for this.
