Form & Verdict

Showed promise on good to soft on first two starts before winning Nottingham novice (1m2f, good) in June; readily made all on subsequent handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) and, while he's 6lb higher in a much more competitive race today, he's unexposed and there may still be mileage in his mark.

Form & Verdict

Had been expensive to follow until winning a competitive 1m4f handicap at York last month; can be headstrong, so it's possible he'll be okay now back down in trip, but that remains to be seen and he's taking on some unexposed types off a mark 5lb higher than at York; has won on soft/good to firm.
