Form & Verdict

Promise on his Newbury debut and he's since added novice wins over C&D and at Leicester three weeks ago (7f, good to firm); latest success told us nothing new and he's facing a much stiffer assignment here; well bred and in good hands but this may come too soon in his development.

Unexposed 3yo who was having just his second run in a handicap when overcoming significant trouble in running to win a 7f handicap at Ascot last month; that form has been well advertised by the placed horses and although he's effectively 10lb higher, it's unlikely he's reached his ceiling; shaped well over C&D on debut.
