Came home nicely to win at Chelmsford (7f, AW; first start for 95 days) in January and was returning from a 50-day break when winning over 1m here (good to firm) three weeks ago; goes up in grade off a 3lb higher mark and will need them to go a solid gallop over this shorter trip.

Off the mark when winning at Brighton (6f, good; first-time hood) in August; hood removed when coming home nicely to make a winning return from a three-month break at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in January and has been off again since; leaves the impression the step back up to 1m will prove no issue.

Runner-up here over 1m two starts back, then went one better here eight days ago, also over 1m; now drops back to 6f for the first time since his second start and that would be a concern under a 5lb penalty.

Seven-time winner for Dylan Cunha, from whom he was picked up for 16,000gns last month having regressed in recent times; fair effort in a first-time tongue-tie for his new yard behind Dragon God on Sunday; chance of turning that round back up to 6f.

Won seven sprints when trained by Dylan Cunha and didn't run badly when tried over 1m here last month, after which he changed hands for 16,000gns; makes stable debut from a good mark but is on the downgrade now and 6f is probably his optimum trip; tongue tied for first time.
