Well held on AW in November but did show some promise at up to on turf prior to that; off for five months ahead of this handicap debut, with the betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Fair form, bouncing back from a couple of lesser efforts when second in 7f Musselburgh maiden 17 days ago, leading until inside final 1f; prominent showing likely now dropping back to 6f for AW debut.

Third at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) on debut in a four-runner race that has worked out quite well but he's not built on that in two starts since, with his latest fourth at Catterick (5f, soft) being the subject of an inquiry from the stewards; steps up to 7f.

Third of four at Hamilton on debut but that form looks a lot more persuasive now than it did at the time; didn't get home at York (6f, good) 18 days ago having shown bright speed and now back at 5f; one of two for yard.

12-1 when keeping on for third of four, beaten just over 5l, on last month's debut at Hamilton (5f, good to soft); shaped as though he would improve for the run and the 5l runner-up (also a newcomer) has since run well in a Listed race, but there's still a suspicion he's one for further down the line.
