Form & Verdict

Made most to win a Kempton novice (1m, AW) in December; unsurprisingly never better than mid-division when 80-1 in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good to soft) on reappearance and he was struggling to muster any challenge when badly hampered on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; 25-1); dropped 2lb, with a most eyecatching and unusual profile for this race but also something to prove.
