Best recent effort when third of six in a claimer here (9.5f) on penultimate start and not disgraced when fourth of 12 in first-time blinkers at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) latest, record now 0-17, though, and the switch to cheekpieces will need to bring about something extra.

Form & Verdict

Often makes the running, but was held up when a staying-on fourth of ten here (7f) last time; losing run stands at 18 and only one of his six wins has come over 1m, but he is 2-2 in Class 6 handicaps and drops to this level for the first time since August 2020; respected.

Made a successful debut for David O'Meara at Newcastle (1m Tapeta) in December and not disgraced in three subsequent starts, including when third of nine over 7f back there last time (first two have won since); makes his debut for another new yard having changed hands for 12,500gns in February; worth monitoring in the market.
