Form & Verdict
Began his career with a pair of 5f wins at Chester last May; progress stalled last summer but he returned from a 223-day absence with a good run back at Chester three weeks ago, third of 12 in a 6f handicap on good ground (wide draw); looks on a good mark but can he deliver away from Chester?

Acts well at Chester (three course wins; had the widest draw there last week) but he did win away from that track at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May; this test looks a stretch off his current mark

Wins at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) and C&D (good to soft) this summer; lacklustre run at York last month and while his course record reads 11312, stall 10 might complicate matters.

Made it 2-3 when winning on stable debut in Southwell novice (7f, AW) in April and improved upon his handicap debut sixth when close second of eight at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) recently; unexposed but another step forward is necessary in this higher grade following a 3lb rise.

Promise as a 2yo, including a Catterick win (7f, good); not beaten far on his seasonal/handicap debut last month but he took a backwards step 25 days ago (reportedly lost action); drops to 6f for the first time and could still have a bigger run in him.

Won two in a row at Newmarket (6f/7f, good to firm) this summer but he was well held in his hat-trick bid there (fourth of six) last month; that was behind a big improver, but he needs to find more to defy this mark and is untried on AW.
