Form & Verdict
Thrown in on his 3yo form but he has gone the wrong way in a hurry and a wind operation last November hasn't arrested the slide; drops into his first 0-55 and has a good apprentice booked so a revival isn't completely out of the question.

Wolverhampton winner in May (8.6f); an eye-catching fifth at Kempton last month before another promising run from well off the pace at Windsor (1m, good to firm); could be interesting.

Turned things around with a breakthrough win at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in May; disappointing at Ffos Las next time but he bounced back with an eye-catching fifth at Kempton 12 days ago; remains well handicapped on old form and has claims if this sets up for his closing style.

With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear.

Ended a long losing run in a classified event at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) in June but he was a remote third there (1m) last time; that was a tough task behind a handicap blot but he's not easy to predict and his two runs on slow ground have been underwhelming.
