Made a winning handicap debut on AW (7f) in April and doubled his tally when tackling turf for the first time at Newbury (1m, good to soft) in June; underperformed on good to firm back there in July (also non-runner due to quick ground at Glorious Goodwood three weeks later) but no surprise were he to resume his progression back on a softer surface; the way he saw things out when winning at Newbury suggests this sort of trip should be within range.

Form & Verdict
Beaten a nose on his handicap debut (7f), after which he was gelded; 2-2 in handicaps this year, winning narrowly at Wolverhampton in February and having more in hand than the head margin indicated over C&D two weeks ago; latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Made it 3-4 for the year when winning at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in April and bounced back from a lesser run on soft ground with another win at Sandown last month (7f, good; Kimbara second); had just half a length to spare but he had to wait for a clear run and all of his wins have been by narrow margins; could still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb.

Ex-Irish; didn't need to improve on earlier Newcastle second to win a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton on last month's stable debut; enjoyed the run of things on that occasion and he will need to pull out more to follow up.

Comfortably the pick of his four 2yo runs came when second of 12 in a 6f maiden a Newbury (good to soft) last September; down the field at Goodwood one month later (Class 4; 7f); gelded since last seen; down in grade for his AW debut but has to prove he is worth this mark.
