Created a favourable impression when winning a 6f Ascot nursery last summer off a 9lb higher mark (trained by Andrew Balding); he hasn't found his form for this yard in 2022 and hopes pinned on the change of headgear having a positive effect.

Some promise on his first two runs (7f) and appeared to take a big step forward when a front-running second of ten at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) three weeks ago; not ideally drawn for one who likes to race prominently but he does at least have some untapped potential moving in to handicaps.

Another cheaply-acquired success story for his trainer, winning five times since December (5f-7f, turf and AW); nothing concrete to suggest he's better on AW than turf but it's also still a possibility and this mark still looks manageable; would be quite appealing were it not for the widest stall.
