Form & Verdict

Time has shown his third of seven behind Inisherin and Kalpana here (7f) in March was some effort, but he is now 0-6 and there seemed few excuses when a disappointing favourite at Haydock (1m, good) last time; needs to resume his progress in first-time cheekpieces.

Plenty of initial promise in these colours for Tom Clover, including a third behind the high-class Inisherin; had a wind op and was never far away when a close third on handicap debut at Windsor (1m, good) and then got no luck at Newbury having been gelded; could be interesting.
