Form & Verdict

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Simon Dow

Progressive for new stable this season and bids to complete a hat-trick after 1m wins at Bath (good) and Lingfield (AW); his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but he could plausibly have more improvement to come over this new trip; obvious contender.

Improved for the fitting of the visor when dead-heating at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April and went close again next time; bounced back from a lesser effort on soft ground when a respectable third of nine at Pontefract (1m, good) four days ago and now has the headgear back on (left off last time).

Seven races, best when beaten under a length in 1m handicaps here (firm/good) on last two occasions; not bred for 1m2f but has now been shaping as if worth a crack at it; also now tries headgear but he's one to consider.
