Promise as a 2yo, including a Catterick win (7f, good); not beaten far on his seasonal/handicap debut last month but he took a backwards step 25 days ago (reportedly lost action); drops to 6f for the first time and could still have a bigger run in him.

Catterick winner last October; made a pleasing reappearance/handicap debut over C&D (good ground) 18 days ago, always prominent and finishing fourth; Ryan Moore keeps the ride; may improve for the outing; respected.

Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark.

Only 5-4 and 4-1 for his two 1m handicaps since being gelded and showed plenty of pace both times before weakening; dropping back in trip should be a big help.

Started a short price on his comeback/handicap debut late last month, having been gelded, when getting involved in a dual up front and cracking late; trainer going well of late and this one's evidently felt capable off this mark.
