Blew the start on debut and improved a bit when 4l fifth of nine at Haydock (7f, soft; faded) next time; dropping back to 6f may well suit and he remains open to progress; should be thereabouts.

Improved effort when winning a 6f maiden at Pontefract last month, his first run without soft in the going description; failed to build on it at York two weeks ago (7f) but this is less demanding and he still has some potential; AW debut.

45,000euros yearling who went for £160,000 at the breeze-ups; bred to be suited by 1m+ in due course but shaped encouragingly when third of 12 in Doncaster maiden (6f, good; 17-2) last month, doing his best work late on; Pontefract's stiff finish should suit him well and he's high on the list.

Justified market support to make winning handicap debut over C&D (good to soft; from 4lb lower) in February 2025; failed to excel in a hood at Wetherby or Huntingdon (November/December); returns from a four-month break on better ground, which holds few fears; merits respect.
