200,000gns breeze-up purchase whose September promise comprised an eye-catching effort over C&D and comfortable success in small field at Newcastle (7f); this is harder but he may improve further.

Progressive first three starts but he has not cut much ice in handicaps, fading into eighth at Wetherby on latest; at least the handicapper is cutting him some slack and the good recent form of his stable is a plus.

Made the breakthrough at Beverley (1m4f, Class 5; first-time hood) in August; runner-up in the Hambleton Cup at Thirsk next time, and again at Kempton and Catterick since (slowly away both occasions); this stiff galloping track looks an ideal match, but the level of competition (Class 3) is higher.

Gained breakthrough win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month, having swapped blinkers for first-time hood, which has been kept since; second since at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft; raced very wide) and Kempton (1m3f, AW; arrived much too late from the back) showed he's well capable of a prominent finish here as well even if he requires some riding.

Gained breakthrough win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month, having swapped blinkers for first-time hood, and also ran well when second at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) 18 days ago, where taking the scenic route in pursuit on some better ground didn't pay dividends; also suited by Polytrack and probably still has a bigger run in him.
