0-10 and although he ran well when third of eight at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) and second of nine at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month, his fourth of six at Bath (5.7f, firm) eight days ago wasn't so hot; needs to get back on track.

Nine-race maiden; has been placed four times, including when second at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) eight days ago; races prominently and takes a marked drop in distance; likely to lead to test his rivals with his proven stamina and should give his supporters a run for their money.

A mixed bag so far, going close at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in June and Sandown (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) the following month, but hasn't threatened in his other six starts; enough to prove especially in the conditions.
