Well held at big prices in three 2yo runs but he looked a different proposition when justifying favouritism on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a comfortable success and he's open to more progress at this new trip; big player for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022.

Promising start to his handicap career when third of five at Wolverhampton last month (9.4f, AW); he will need more to come out on top but he is low mileage and the addition of a visor can give him a lift.
