Made all for Andrew Balding at Chepstow (1m4f) in July and led 2f out to score by 6l at Lingfield (1m5f, AW) in August on third outing for current yard; creditable second of four over C&D latest; should give his running and that puts him high on the list.

Made all when winning in first-time cheekpieces for Andrew Balding at Chepstow two months ago (subsequently picked up for 20,000gns); much his best effort to date on AW debut last time (Polytrack) but has paid for that with a 7lb rise; needs more again.

Scored at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last October and has been placed four times this year; may have found the drop back in trip against him when fifth of six at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers but he may find this trip on the sharp side.

Last four starts in cheekpieces; went close at Newmarket (2m, good to firm; acts on AW) in June but the effect of the headgear seems to have worn off and he was beaten a long way four weeks ago; carries risks after that but does have a commendable course record and that keeps him in the picture.

Not disgraced in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when fourth of six in 1m5f AW handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to build on that if he's to gain a first success at the seventh attempt.

Beaten under 3l in his first handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) but he's been laboured in both subsequent runs; still unexposed after only six starts but he needs a transformation on this step up to 2m.
