Form & Verdict

All five wins in fields of six or fewer but ran a mighty race to be third in the Dash this Summer; seemingly amiss in first-time tongue-tie (removed here) when last seen and has a bit to prove on AW debut having been gelded; Luke Morris is 1-1 on him.

His losing sequence continues and he wasn't quite at his best when seventh of 14 at Doncaster (5f, good) ten days ago; however, he wasn't beaten far and is back down in grade today; prior to last time he was placed on three runs in a row (5f, good to firm-soft); may be in the mix.

AW hat-trick last winter and, off a reduced mark, he won a Racing League contest in August; remains nicely treated and shaped well (stuck on far side of pack/sat closer to pace than ideal) off a 62-day break at Newcastle recently; key player.

His most recent wins were 6f on AW but he tends to flag over this trip on turf and his stride shortened in this race 12 months ago; on a more favourable mark now but others should find greater reserves in the later stages.

In good form on AW over the winter, winning twice over 6f; that trip stretches him on turf and neither of his Newmarket runs this spring have been too shabby; only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield success in March and the ground won't be an issue; first visit to Epsom but the return to 5f will suit and he's not out of it if he takes to the unique challenge.

He'd been in good form on AW this winter prior to his midfield finish over C&D 17 days ago (race not run to suit); work to do with a couple of reopposing rivals but he did enough there to think he's still in top form; has the ability to play a leading role.

Six victories for previous yard; stepped up a bit for Michael Wigham, recording a win and making two bold bids in good handicaps on turf; won on Tapeta at three and could play a part if not finding this too sharp.
