Showed promise on debut over C&D and duly progressed to beat 13 opponents at Kempton (good to soft) last month, travelling well and just shaken up to assert; major player for a trainer with a fine record in this sphere.

Form & Verdict

Much better effort so far when fifth in Listed event at Cheltenham (soft) in November, fading after racing freely; looks the stable's second string on jockey bookings but he doesn't have much to find on form and may progress further.

Form & Verdict

Unbeaten at Bangor (good) and Stratford (good to firm) last summer; may still be unexposed but he concedes weight all round and has plenty to find on the figures after seven months off.
