Shaped well on his stable debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February but hamstrung by slow starts on his next three starts; further blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Windsor in May; well backed back at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago and again not foot perfect leaving the stalls but he overcame some adversity (stumbled early and had to be switched in the straight) to win going away; little doubt he has the ability to defy his penalty but there are risks attached.
