Holy Roman Emperor colt took a step forward on his AW debut when runner-up in 1m2f Chelmsford novice nine days ago; cheekpieces go on for his Tapeta/handicap debut and he must enter calculations.

0-10 but he was beaten only a neck when third of seven here over 1m on stable debut last month; below that form when fifth of six at Haydock (1m2f, good) ten days ago; drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut and needs to bounce back returned to this track.

0-9 but he's dropped down the weights and was a close second on recent stable debut at Brighton (1m, good to firm; 22-1); looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has some novice form at this trip; shortlisted.

Respectable third on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, but his form went the wrong way in three subsequent runs for Marco Botti; record is now 0-8 and has plenty to prove for new yard.

Yet to make any further progress on the Flat since winning 9.4f AW nursery in December (RPR 68) but should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles and has possibilities if he takes to this game.
