Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June and did well to finish third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month having been hampered early; however, he was only fifth of 13 over this C&D in between those runs and was disappointing at Musselburgh on latest outing; others are more compelling.

Off the mark for the year when comfortably winning a C&D handicap last month; two good efforts have followed, running well in the circumstances when third at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stalls can be an issue but he should be bang there if breaking on terms.

Dual 5f winner (Beverley and Musselburgh); couldn't match stronger finishing kick of Mighty Magnus (runner-up, beaten over 1l) at Musselburgh in June; is easing slightly in the weights but still sits 8lb above her last winning mark.

Form & Verdict
Led late when making a winning debut at Ripon last August (5f, good to firm); beaten at odds-on at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) the following month but that form looks solid; gelded afterwards; brings clear potential to this handicap debut.

Debut course winner (5f maiden) as a juvenile; gelded over the winter and hasn't done badly (374) since introduced to handicapping; didn't appear to be at home on the track when beaten favourite (fourth) at Chester latest; the handicapper is slowly relenting.

Has acquitted himself well in all four starts, winning over 5f on Ripon debut as 2yo, but most significantly when keeping on well against smart sprinting rivals at York (6f, good) four weeks ago; in the thick of it at this easier level for yard that has won two of the last eight runnings.

His two 2yo starts yielded a win at Ripon (5f, good to firm) and close second at Pontefract (6f, good to soft), and he returned with a respectable third on handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good); in a hot contest today and improvement is necessary, but that can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he was tried over 1m on his seasonal/handicap debut in April; dropped to 5f at Sandown nine days ago (tongue tied first time; well backed) and travelled well but met some trouble at a crucial stage; that race set up for the closers and this is a sharper test but he could well have more to offer as a sprinter; cheekpieces now added.

Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he ran over 1m on his reappearance, but his two runs since have been over this distance; went off favourite but met trouble on both occasions, and he has since been gelded; hard to pin down but he's relatively lightly raced and probably has more to offer.

Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering.
