Won on debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; finished last in Group 2 next time and runner-up in Redcar novice (6f, good) last November when last seen; gelded since; not obviously well treated off opening mark but his pedigree provides hope that he'll have more to offer.

Both starts at Newbury, better effort when third over 6.5f last time; however, gives the impression he'll be ideally suited by 7f+ which means this drop back to a bare 6f is a negative.

Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month.

The form of his maiden win at Thirsk last month has worked out well (5f, good to firm) and he raced away from the main action when mid-division in sales race at York (6f, good to firm) last time; however, others have more substance to their claims; below best on good to soft ground in July.

His debut second here in June (6f, good to firm) remains his best run on the figures but he gamely got off the mark at Thirsk (5f) last time and he's a scopey gelding who can improve.
