Won five of 15 races, including this month at Thirsk and Newmarket (both 1m4f on good to firm); Wednesday's 1m4f handicap here was a much sterner test of his credentials and he came up well short at 28-1, so others are again preferred.

Capitalised on a reduced mark at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) on July 1 and he followed up at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) ten days later; clearly in good heart but those wins came in five-runner, Class 4 handicaps and this is a much sterner test of his credentials.

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.

Form & Verdict
Best effort when third on 1m4f Newmarket handicap debut (good) 12 days ago, staying on in a style which suggests there could be more to come as his stamina is drawn out.

Third at Nottingham (1m, soft) on second start last October and not discredited when 25-1 in a novice won under Sorin Moldoveanu by a much shorter-priced stablemate at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on April reappearance; 575,000gns yearling whose dam was useful over 1m4f+, so all in all he needs a close look on handicap debut.

Showed promise in a couple of maidens (around 1m) last October; steps up in trip on AW debut but may be a longer-term project; Birgham Dub looks the trainer's main hope.

Second over 7f at Yarmouth (good) and Chelmsford (AW) on his only two starts as 2yo; respectable third to Savvy Disko in novice at Lingfield (1m, AW) on return last month; handicap newcomer, with plenty to suggest that 1m2f+ will suit and best days are ahead of him.
