No great progress in AW handicaps from last October to January but he found a powerful finish in his first turf run at this level when winning over C&D (good) last week; this could take more winning under a penalty (goes up the same amount in future) but he's open to improvement.

Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; fair efforts in the last two of his three runs for current yard but his latest second was in a three-runner race at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); this drop back in trip could suit but he needs to find more to make the breakthrough on turf.

Marked improvement is needed but he's had just four races; fifth of ten on seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) four weeks ago failed to match his market position but he staged something of a rally, after hanging left over 2f out, and might build on that.
