Won his first three handicaps, all over 6f on good ground or quicker; couldn't complete the four-timer in a warm 3yo sprint at York in June, but he travelled well through that race and doubt he's handicapped out of things just yet; suitability of soft ground has to be taken on trust but he remains of interest for a top stable.

Modest form as a 2yo but he's taken off in handicaps this year, winning by a wide margin at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in April and following up at Haydock four days later; another step up the ladder when comfortably seeing off his ten rivals back at Haydock (again 6f on good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise looks lenient and he's high on the list now upped in class.

Major improvement when winning by 4l on handicap/seasonal debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last month and he followed up over this C&D (good) four days later; had just a neck to spare last time and is 6lb higher today, but this well-bred colt could have more left in the tank for his top yard.
