Form & Verdict

Most of his handicaps on AW, winning three at 7f and 1m, but the return to turf is working quite well of late, gaining a first win on the surface at Goodwood (1m, good to soft) in June then checked in quite a promising run at Sandown (1m, good to firm) since; can be competitive off the same mark.

Form & Verdict

Had some good 2yo form, as when winning both starts at about 7f, and this campaign has a somewhat luckless look to it so far, albeit slow starts aren't helping; his one start over 1m, in a valuable Carlisle handicap in May, was inconclusive regarding stamina but he remains of interest.
