Beaten less than a length into third in one start for Owen Burrows at Sandown (7f, good) last August and beaten a neck when sent off odds-on for his stable debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in December (a couple of winners have come out of that race); took a keen hold there and a solid chance of compensation if settling better.

Runner-up in his first four starts over 5f-7f, but although only fifth of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) last time an awkward start and meeting a bit of trouble wouldn't have helped; shortlisted.
