Has shown ability as when making the frame at Brighton (7f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m, good) last month, but out of his depth in the sales race at Doncaster 12 days ago; half-brother to two AW winners, but not sure the drop in trip is ideal on nursery debut.

Progressive in three starts on turf, finishing second of nine in a Sandown maiden (5f, soft) 11 days ago; makes his nursery debut in first-time cheekpieces and is closely related to AW winners, but he has hung in all of his starts which would be a concern on this sharp track.

0-4 but he's finished runner-up in last two starts and latest was a close call on handicap/AW debut over C&D in September; returns after four months off, but he has a progressive profile and is a big player back in a novice; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces.
