Narrowly made a successful nursery debut at Salisbury (7f, heavy) last September and ran well on similar ground at Doncaster (7f) the following month, but having been gelded he was well held on last month's Nottingham reappearance (1m, good to soft); blinkers given a go, but not certain to appreciate the longer trip.

Won heavy-ground nursery here last September and won at 40-1 in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Sandown (1m2f, good) in June; scuppered by a slow start at Kempton (1m, AW) a fortnight ago and could have a big part to play if breaking on terms.

Goes beyond an extended 1m2f for the first time and there's a concern regarding whether he'll settle, which didn't happen at Sandown last time; however, two starts ago he was held up there (1m2f, good) and stayed on well for third, and on that evidence he has potential at this new trip provided he's amenable to restraint; pedigree bodes well for soft ground.
