Form & Verdict

Showed promise on sole run on soft (unraced on heavy); won at Carlisle in June and he's been second or third in his other four handicaps, over 1m4f on last two occasions; despite pedigree, he now shapes as if 1m6f may be within reach, so he also needs a second look.

Won with something to spare when upped to 1m3f at Carlisle (good) in June and returned from break with close second of five at Southwell (1m4f, AW) this month, when clear with a progressive fellow 3yo; has also shown promise on soft ground; could still have more to offer; one to consider.

Goes well on soft, unraced on heavy; running with consistent credit in handicaps, the exception when 20-1 in a Class 2; showed twice in August that he stays 2m and he was denied a proper chance to show what he could do back at 1m6f when meeting trouble in running in warm C&D race three weeks ago (still beat Walter Hartright and Spaceport); one to note in a likely slog.

Goes well on soft, as shown again on penultimate start in particular, and he ran respectably on reappearance on his only race on heavy ground; stamina poses a big question, though, as he's never been beyond 1m2f.

Acts on good to soft, withdrawn last week when the ground was heavy; second win this season came when upped to 1m6f at Sandown in July, drawing clear again in the final 1f; those front-running tactics did not work out in the Melrose at York (tailed off) and he was well beaten over C&D three weeks ago, so may have gone off the boil.

Races prominently and can make the running; much improved since blinkered, completing a four-timer in June/July before two good seconds and a creditable sixth in warm C&D race on latest outing (behind Filibustering); his only runs on worse than good to soft were last October at start of career (well beaten) so there is something to prove in the mud.
