Won his first two nurseries on turf in July (the second in a match) and best subsequent effort when promoted to third over C&D last month; finished last of eight at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) ten days ago, though, and is already due another 3lb drop.

Early promise for James Horton last season but his campaign rather fizzled out; dropped away in the final 300yds at Haydock on his seasonal/stable debut three weeks ago but he may have needed the run and that was a 0-70; should last longer today.

Two good placed efforts at Chester in the spring; gelded after finishing down the field at Royal Ascot and subsequent efforts have been underwhelming; drops into a 0-60 - an uncompetitive one at that - and a revival isn't out of the question.
