Left his two 2yo runs well behind when winning Southwell maiden (1m, AW) in January; only sixth of nine on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; this 3yo remains very lightly raced and is not written off.

Recorded an RPR of 75 twice last summer (6f and 7f) and that form would bring him right into the reckoning; mixed record in recent starts though and he's been gelded during his 104-day absence; cheekpieces replace the blinkers that were tried last time; others could be open to greater progress.
