4yo who has had just six races, on last two occasions winning well in handicaps at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) in October and Southwell (slowly run 2m, AW; gelded) four weeks ago; raised another 6lb and substantially in class, but he's probably going places and is one for the shortlist.

Ages since he last won but has run well now and again during his losing streak and might be happier getting back on the grass; cheekpieces belatedly tried for the first time.

Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf.
