Won twice for Andrew Balding as a juvenile; yet to be placed for his current trainer this year and tries his luck back on AW; his handicap mark continues to spiral and he needs to get things back on track.

Below form on last two outings and remains without a win since 2023 but started off for new stable with three good runs in April-June (5f-6f) and lurks on a dangerous mark; can't be ruled out.

Slowly away, pulled hard and ran green when shaping nicely on his 5f debut in June; well below that level at a short price next time (also 5f; again missed the kick and never looked happy; saddle slipped late) and has since been gelded.

Not living up to his yearling price-tag but has made the frame on all four starts, most recently when creditable second of ten on nursery debut at Ascot (6f, good) last month; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but ought to make his presence felt again.

14-1, close fourth of five on last month's debut at Hamilton (5f, good to soft), form that looks strong (the third has won since); he ran green at Hamilton and his dam was a 5f/6f 2yo Listed winner, so there can be optimism he will improve; on the shortlist.

Capitalised on a career-low mark when back on slow ground at Leicester (6f, good to soft) on Tuesday; his three previous wins had come on soft ground; he's back down to 5f today but had just over 3l to spare in that big field at Leicester last time and a 5lb penalty may well not be enough to stop him.
