Strong in the market when he made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (1m4f) and he followed up off 3lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, also AW) three weeks ago; handicapper reacted by dishing out a career-high mark but this locally trained gelding is a C&D winner who needs considering in current mood.

1-17, with that win coming off 1lb lower at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September when sporting first-time cheekpieces; respectable effort there over 2m in April but he virtually refused to race on turf two weeks ago and was soon pulled up; best watched.

Form & Verdict
Still seeking his first win after 13 attempts but he has finished second on three occasions, including at Wolverhampton on his seasonal return three weeks ago (1m4f; hooded first time); that was a costly reverse for those that backed him into 11-10f but he didn't do a great deal wrong and the subsequent wins of the first and third give the form some ballast; major player with the hood now discarded.
