Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism in a Lingfield maiden in June before scoring on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last month; held in third in hat-trick bid at Newmarket but that was a tactical race and was beaten less than 1l; looks interesting off same mark here and should have more to offer at this trip.

Made it three wins in his last four starts when quickening 5l clear in 1m Sandown handicap (good) five weeks ago; this is a rise in grade but the style of that latest success marks him down as one who should have more to offer; non-runner due to unsuitable ground on good to firm last month but one of his wins came on ground which was officially good to firm.

Won on Bath debut (1m, good to soft) last September, but he's 0-5 since and has struggled in his last two handicaps; got squeezed out at the start at Chester (10.3f, good to soft; 22-1) last time but he has bit to prove after a short break and others are more convincing.
