Won a maiden and two handicaps from his five starts, the latest win at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f); good fourth of eight when upped to Group 3 at York (1m1f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; needs to maintain his progressive profile but that is possible.

Has run four times, with his sole defeat coming at the hands of Wednesday's close Great Voltigeur third Arabian Force; made it 2-2 in handicaps when winning in a big field at Glorious Goodwood three weeks ago (1m1f, good; has also won on good to firm); today's company demands further and sizeable improvement but that can't be ruled out from this progressive 3yo.

J: William Buick

T: Andrew Balding

His three runs have come on AW/good to firm; back to winning ways at Sandown (1m1f) in June on his first handicap start; did it in convincing fashion and this unexposed 3yo could take a 7lb rise in his stride.

Form of debut success (1m, AW) has some substance; turned over at very short odds in Salisbury contest (1m2f) since but may benefit from this slight drop back in trip and remains open to progress.

250,000gns yearling; picked up well to make a winning debut at Kempton (1m) and the two placed horses have won since, with the third also running respectably at Listed level; looks a nice prospect.
