Not the most consistent since handicapping this year but he scored on his reappearance at Beverley (good to firm) in April and again at Nottingham (also 1m2f, good) in June; went down by only a neck on AW last time and his overall profile is one of progression.

Made it 2-3 in handicaps when scoring at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in June but he flopped with a laboured effort at Sandown (beaten 9l) last month; still lightly raced but he's a been a bit up and down so far and needs to bounce back again.

Won handicap/seasonal debut at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in April but odds-on flop over 11.6f at Haydock next time; settling him was again an issue back over 1m2f in a steadily run race at Nottingham (good) one month ago but he came from the back in six-runner race to win by a neck; up 5lb but the third scored next time and this 3yo leaves the firm impression that there is better still to come from him.

Opened account at eighth attempt, with clearcut success in five-runner Brighton classified (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that form isn't anything to get too excited about but the runner-up has won in that grade since and this filly might still have more to offer.
