Hasn't seen his races out in novice/maiden company (5f-7f) but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see him take a step forward now handicapping at a modest level.

Both starts over 6f, better effort when fourth of six at Yarmouth (good to firm) latest when shaping as if this drop in trip is worth exploring; could take another step forward.

Maiden who had some useful 2yo form, including in a competitive 7f handicap on this course before going close against a big improver over 6f on Lingfield AW in November; satisfactory reappearance in March but was seriously hampered at Ripon since; interesting contender.

Form figures of 321 in novice/maiden events but he kicked off his nursery career with a tame effort at Windsor (5f; cheekpieces added) last month; still early days but he needs to resume his progress to make a serious impact.

Upset in the stalls on his intended third start (withdrawn) and gelded soon afterwards; showed plenty of pace either side of that when second at Brighton (5f, good to firm) and narrowly winning a novice at Musselburgh (5f, good) ten days ago; could still prove capable of better with cheekpieces enlisted on this handicap debut.

Turned over at odds-on in Yarmouth contest (good) last time but again ran creditably on the figures and has proved consistent (223) over 5f since unplaced debut effort (6f); helps to set the standard.
