Most encouraging debut at Kempton in March (7f), making a big move from 3f out to 1f out before those exertions took their toll; ran much better than the distance beaten suggests at Doncaster 16 days ago (7f, soft); looks quick enough for this stiff 6f and he's open to further progress.

In need of the experience on his Newbury debut (6.5f, good) last June; gelded afterwards and took a good step forward at Kempton on his second run (7f), staying on well in the closing stages in a steadily run race; can do better this year and he's another to consider in an open event.
