Ultra-consistent and registered a deserved first win in a novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing; however, having had to settle for a place in his 1m2f handicaps at Ascot (good) and York (good to soft) in May, this field looks more demanding; worth a go at 1m4f but others are preferred for the win.

Half-brother to two useful winners who shaped nicely on his debut; ran to a similar level when well off the winner last time, again behind a stablemate of Castle Cove's, and needs to improve on that.

Has shown promise, particularly on his second start when 25-1 and finishing third of eight at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm); couldn't step up on that here (1m3f) latest; has been given a chance from this initial mark; interesting.

Made a low-key start at Yarmouth (1m, good) in April but he left that form well behind when a rallying third at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last month; sets a good standard on that promising effort and he's open to more progress on this step up to 1m3f.

Resumed his progression when coming with a strong run from off the pace to win 12-runner race at Chester (1m2f, soft) on handicap debut and reappearance; unable to land a serious blow when performing respectably in good races over 1m2f at Goodwood (good) and Sandown (soft) since but remains unexposed and it's possible this longer trip will suit him; Tom Marquand sides with Dramatic Star but there's still plenty to like.

Still a maiden after nine races but he's come down the weights and kept on well to go down by a head when front-running second of nine at Newcastle (AW) last time, when stepped up to 2m in second-time visor; that suggests he can make the breakthrough as a stayer.
