Novice winner in June and pretty solid on varied ground in his five 1m2f handicaps, winning two; latest start was at Newbury (soft) where he set up a clear lead before hanging on by a neck; has 6lb penalty; not bred for this far but he looks the type to do better still and is not dismissed.

Made it 2-4 with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month on second handicap start and good second at Sandown (1m2f, good) subsequently, form that has been franked by the third; he's a 3yo on the up and could well play another leading role if conditions suit (unraced on fast ground).

Form & Verdict

Won consecutive 1m2f Newbury races (soft and good) in spring 2023; second at Ascot on penultimate start has been clearly his best show this season and he blew the start at Goodwood (4-1) on latest; needs peak form to win.

Best results as 2yo and 3yo came on soft or heavy; never dangerous in mid-division over 1m2f on soft at Newbury and Chester last spring, his very slow start in the latter appearing to make it a creditable effort; off 498 days and it remains to be seen whether this ground is ideal.

Green when down the field at Ffos Las on last month's debut (1m, good to soft) but he fared better when a close second at Doncaster 16 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); only four ran there and the form isn't the easiest to asses but he's open to further progress.
