Newbury maiden (good to soft) winner who was gelded after finishing down the field in Listed event here (also 6f) in October; coped well with the drop to 5f when taking good step forward to land Sandown handicap (good) on his reappearance three weeks ago; unexposed and likely capable of better again.

Won with something to spare at Newbury (6f, good to soft) last September on second start then pulled hard when mid-division in Listed race at York (6f, good); gelded since, which may settle him down, and this well-bred sort has potential off his opening mark.
