Improved form in handicaps since being gelded, finishing third in two outings at Wolverhampton over 7f, most recently nine days ago; makes turf debut but doesn't look certain to benefit from this drop back in trip.

Showed promise in two of his three qualifying runs including when a front-running fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; 11-4 favourite) two weeks ago; now takes another step up in trip but he should have more to offer in nurseries and is bred to be better than this opening mark.

Promise for John Butler last summer and he's continued the good work for new yard, third in a maiden at Newcastle (6f) in December before his ready front-running success on handicap debut there (5f) 38 days ago; a 6lb rise is not obviously generous but he is unexposed at 5f and could well have more in the tank.
