Improved for the switch to nurseries when keeping on for fourth at York two weeks ago (7f, good to firm; hung left); that effort suggested he was ready for 1m and he needs serious consideration on AW debut.

Promising second of 13 on his Redcar debut (6f, good) in June; hasn't built on that over 7f twice since and needs to get back on the up now handicapping.

T: K R Burke

7-1 when second of 13 on his Redcar debut (6f, good) last month; bred for middle distances on the dam's side so the extra furlong should suit and a major player for yard operating at a 26% strike-rate with its 2yos this year.

7/4
