Form & Verdict

Maiden and novice winner (6f, good to firm/good) last summer who was a shade disappointing when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Newbury (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and his neck second of 13 at Newmarket (also 7f, good) was much more like it on his comeback last month; mixed messages have come out of that race but still commands plenty of respect.

Gelded since never landing a blow in Newbury nursery (7f) on final 2yo start when bidding for a hat-trick after maiden/novice wins over 6f; represents major stable and may still have more to offer; not written off.

Form & Verdict
Has led; won 6f Windsor novice as 2yo, also in the frame in Listed events; found little when upped to 7f on Newbury comeback but finished close up back over 6f at Windsor recently in new aids (tongue-tie retained, blinkers discarded); stamina still to be proved over 7f but can't rule out.

His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess.

Raced over 6f as a 2yo, winning a Windsor novice by daylight last June and third in Listed race here three weeks later; soft ground excuses his poor run when last seen; improvement required for the longer trip and/or a gelding operation if he is to win today.
