Looked a good prospect when running away with a C&D novice on debut last December but disappointing on all three starts since, including when always behind on 7f Kempton handicap debut (first run since gelded) three months ago; hood worn on that occasion is quickly discarded; too soon to write off but arrives with something to prove.
