Promising debut here last September where he was green and looked stretched by 7f, losing four places in the final 110 yards; found improvement dropped to 6f when runner-up at Brighton the following month and he ended last season with another close call at Chelmsford in October; leading form contender on his return and he should have more to offer as a 3yo.
