Form & Verdict
Well-bred sort but he failed to threaten on his three 2yo starts for Clive Cox, the latest his handicap debut at Nottingham (1m, good) in October; sold for 16,000gns later that month; has to raise his game on stable debut.

2-4 for this yard with narrow wins at Ripon (1m) and Doncaster (1m2f); another creditable effort over 1m2f last time; needs to resume improvement, which may be possible as he's just a 3yo but he's not bred for this new trip; it's also his AW debut.

0-4 for Clive Cox but 2-3 for this yard after narrow wins at Ripon (1m, good to soft) and over C&D (good to firm); came from off the pace a month ago to collect by a half-length off 5lb lower; well bred, he might well have more to offer.

Justified favouritism when beating a clear second on his seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; never dangerous when fourth in similar conditions at Nottingham last month but that was a Class 4 and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; needs a close look on this drop back in grade.

He got better with each of his three runs in nurseries last autumn, winning comfortably at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November; gelded since; he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf but is bred to do better still and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he can continue the good work.
