Some ability in his first four starts, but showed improvement when winning a Beverley apprentice handicap (5f, good to firm) under Zak Wheatley on Tuesday; escapes a penalty for that and the way he won going away suggested he would appreciate a longer trip; high on the list.

Both wins came at Newcastle (6f, AW) earlier this year and lightly raced on turf (0-4), but his near miss over C&D (soft) in April and third of 12 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago show there are races to be won with him on grass; shortlisted; stable also runs Shine's Ambition.
