Had wind surgery since last run; should be suited by this sharp scenario on stable/hurdles debut, having gained his Flat wins over 7f/1m on good ground; interesting.

His nursery win came off a similar mark; beaten favourite on his last three starts and some hanging didn't help last time at Windsor; others appeal more.

Best efforts on last two outings when second in a novice at Brighton (7f, good to firm) and third of six on nursery debut at Salisbury (1m, good to firm; tongue tied); ridden by Mohammed Tabti in both; blinkered at Brighton and again today; needs to find extra.

Yet to add to his 2yo win and was out of form when last seen in the autumn; drops back to 1m having been campaigned over middle-distances over the last couple of years; others have more pressing claims.

Wore cheekpieces in nurseries on last three starts; fared better on last two occasions when second at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and winning in clearcut style at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) four days ago, both from the front; has 6lb penalty but solid chance.

Late foal; fourth of 11 in novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; 50-1) on second start; modest either side, wearing a hood last time; dam was a 1m4f/2m winner, suggesting that further than 6f is worth exploring.

Off the mark at the ninth attempt (second run for this yard) when sweeping through late to win a 7f handicap at Kempton two weeks ago (cheekpieces first time, retained); up 3lb and needs taking seriously.

Showed promise for the Johnstons and wasn't beaten far in a 6f nursery at Newcastle on stable debut three weeks ago; that form looks solid and could have more to come but fitting of cheekpieces sounds a note of caution.

Failed to win in seven starts for the Johnstons but he ran some good races, notably a close third at Nottingham in September; struggled over C&D 11 weeks ago, after which he was sold for 32,000gns and gelded; down in class and not a forlorn hope.
