Ran his best race for Charles Hills when third of 12 in a 6f Kempton nursery 302 days ago; gelded during his absence and returns off a 2lb lower mark and with a hood fitted; interesting on stable debut (same owner).

He isn't progressing but there was money for him at Wolverhampton 16 days ago (5f), only for him to be hampered leaving the stalls and then short of room soon after the start, ending up poorly positioned; didn't look straightforward in the home straight though and a wide stall isn't ideal for this free-going colt.

Finished closer when fifth of eight on nursery debut here (6f, good; 22-1) 13 days ago and he shaped as if moving up in trip would suit; needs markedly better but worth a second look.
