Upped in trip and 11-10 favourite when weakening into third of six on handicap debut at Southwell (2m, AW) in September but that is the best form from his five starts; has otherwise not gone beyond 1m4f (tried in cheekpieces on final outing) so today's new trip might offer hope on this first run since 18,000gns sale out of Harry Charlton's last October.

Lightly raced; upped in trip and strong in the market when failing to oblige on recent handicap debut at Southwell (2m, AW; third of six, 11-10 favourite); drops back to 12.5f in newly applied cheekpieces, so could have more to offer from a workable mark; merits respect.
