Disappointing at 5-4 for handicap debut (1m, good) to end last season and reappearance in Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f, AW) wasn't his best form either, albeit providing the most resistance to a 1-2 favourite and 5l clear of the rest; return to 1m might help and cheekpieces are enlisted.
Second from off the pace in a novice at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) last July on second start but that stands out a mile from his other four performances; stamina on the dam's side; gelded prior to this reappearance for an in-form yard.
Useful pedigree and he showed improved form when a close third of 12 on seasonal/handicap debut at Nottingham (1m, good) three weeks ago, favourite and mounting a strong challenge in the final 1f; up 3lb but strong chance.
0-7, all over 7f on AW; sent handicapping on his last three starts; ran well in the first two of those before a lesser show in second-time cheekpieces on latest; 7lb claimer is enlisted for this turf debut with in-form yard.
Back from seven months off to be second in handicaps at Kempton (1m, AW; strong finish) and Bath (1m, good to soft); that's three seconds from his five starts and he hung left last time but no shock if he now goes one better.
Gelded after third start last season and took third of nine on handicap debut here (7f, good) in October on his only appearance since; showed promise too, from off the pace, and isn't entirely ruled out despite the need for further progress.
