Made it four wins from his last ten starts when scoring at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) recently; on a lofty mark under a 6lb penalty and it remains to be seen if he's just as good over 1m, but there can be optimism in that regard and he's clearly progressive; has run well on soft/good to soft.

5yo who produced a career-best performance with authoritative win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; following a 9lb rise he was well beaten over C&D (good to firm) at the Royal meeting 12 days later, finishing fourth of six in the unfavoured far-side group, but he's not written off.

Form & Verdict
Built on debut promise by completing a Newmarket double (7f/6f) last October and the form has received several boosts since; came off a true line last time but may keep straighter with headgear now applied; open to further progress and commands respect on handicap/seasonal debut, especially if the betting speaks positively.

650,000gns breeze-up purchase; fourth at Newbury (7f, good to soft) last month and he built on that when justifying 4-9 favouritism in a five-runner maiden here (7f, good) four weeks ago, making virtually all to score by a neck; has 7lb penalty and 7lb claimer is enlisted; speedy pedigree bolsters hopes that he can adapt to 6f.

His ability has never been in doubt and a return of two wins from his 24 starts is disappointing; he has run some good races in defeat since joining Stuart Williams, including dropped to 6f at Newmarket a fortnight ago, and he holds each-way claims again.
