Form & Verdict
Down the field last April-June on first three starts (5f/6f) and absent since (gelded in interim); however, his pedigree suggests that he will be suited by the step up in trip on this handicap debut and it will be no surprise to see a big performance, especially if well backed.

Had a charmed run when winning first four handicaps, at 1m and 7f, but the spell was broken by St Anton at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) last time; raised a further 5lb against rivals who haven't shown their hand to the same extent; cheekpieces are now fitted.

Reserve; won this spring in his first four handicaps and beaten a head at Carlisle on latest; makes a big step up in class but his stable has continued in great form and, although he's unraced beyond 1m and the third of those wins was over 7f, there's enough in his family to give hope for 1m2f.
