Form & Verdict
Fourth of 13 behind Talk Of New York on his third start at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last October, but having been gelded he looked one-paced when fifth of seven on handicap/turf debut at Windsor (11.4f, good) a fortnight ago; needs to improve for the cheekpieces, but that is possible.

Prescott runner who has shown some improvement with a pair of second-place finishes since wearing headgear, latest at Sandown (1m6f, good); turn looks near.

Better effort switched to handicaps this year when second of five over 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) 11 days ago, worn down only towards the finish; won't need to pull out much more for new headgear (blinkers for cheekpieces) and a longer trip.

Often front-runner; soundly beaten at the big Chester and York meetings in May but fairly solid otherwise this term and returned to winning ways in a five-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) ten days ago; back up 3lb but considered seriously in another small field.

Stoutly bred and he looked a stayer in the making when second of five in a 1m2f novice at Pontefract (soft) last October; today's extra yardage looks a plus; leading contender.
