Form & Verdict
Impressive at Lingfield (6f, AW) last November on sole 2yo start and runner-up to very talented sprinter there (6f novice, good) in May; merely sixth on recent handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) but he's better than that and it will be no surprise if he's a force today; a tongue-tie goes on.

Made all for wide-margin win on his debut at Lingfield (AW) in November and he was back around that sort of form when second to the very promising Behike (second in strong Ascot handicap recently) in good-ground novice there (also 6f) in May; interesting runner.

Won Newbury maiden (6f, good to firm) in June on third start and made it 2-2 for the year in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) later that month; down the field at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) since but it was a difficult race in which to make inroads from the rear; retains potential.

Made it 2-2 for the year when finding plenty to win on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, albeit with the next two home not obviously well treated; has potential but more is needed off 5lb higher.

Improved a touch on last summer's runner-up efforts, back from gelding and wind operations, when winning an ordinary-looking Newbury maiden early in the month; lightly raced still but will find this tougher now handicapping.

Promising at up to 1m for Ger Lyons as a 2yo; unplaced in his first two runs (7f/1m1f) for this yard but he turned in a career-best effort when second of 14 (behind a handicap blot; pair clear) over C&D four weeks ago; showed good speed on that occasion and he should make a bold bid from stall 1 despite a 4lb rise.

1m AW maiden winner in November for Ger Lyons; encouraging stable debut when beaten just over 2l at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went wrong when racing far too freely over 1m1f three weeks ago; takes a sharp drop in trip.

Impressive when winning 6f maiden at Ffos Las (good to soft) and although his handicap runs came to nothing in the end, a troubled run ended his hopes at Doncaster (6f, good) last September; gelded since; the market should show what's expected on his return.
