Half-brother to connections' smart Wimbledon Hawkeye; confirmed promise of his 2yo campaign by rewarding good market support on his handicap debut at Kempton three weeks ago (1m); a 3lb rise looks fair and he holds strong claims in his follow-up bid; cheekpieces worn once last year return.

Fared best of the newcomers when fifth of 11 on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) but failed to build on that at Goodwood (6f, good) last month; now steps up to 7f with cheekpieces applied on AW debut, and this half-brother to Wimbledon Hawkeye may yet do better.

Best efforts to take minor honours in handicaps for new stable on all three starts this season, over 1m2f on last two occasions; lost out in a sustained duel at Redcar (good to firm) last time but kept on well; not the most stoutly bred and today's extra distance needs to spark some improvement.

Went close on stable debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in February and again ran well when third of six at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) latest; however, it's possible he's better at a shorter trip and best form thus far has come on AW.

Comfortably the fastest finisher in a well-run 1m handicap at Kempton on last month's stable debut, beaten just a neck; stamina for the extra 2f has to be taken on trust but his stable are going well over jumps and he could still have mileage in this mark.

The winner of four of his six handicap runs since fitted with a visor, including two impressive front-running displays since returned to turf (1m; good to soft and good to firm); 5lb higher in a stronger race but he cannot be passed over at all lightly, such has been his progress.
