Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie.

Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time.

Gelded prior to his successful nursery debut at Yarmouth last month (1m, good to soft); still looked a work in progress there and the quirks he displayed may have been due to inexperience rather than anything more sinister; 4lb rise but still unexposed.

Handicap debut (1m, good to soft) as 2yo was his only win from seven starts for Ed Walker, also beaten a nose on next start; ran as though something was amiss in January and faded out of it when starting off for new yard in February, performances which he needs to leave well behind him.
