Came from well back to lead near the line on handicap debut at Bath (5f, good) on final 2yo start, beating many subsequent winners; raced freely but still a sound fourth of ten in a good 5f race at Goodwood in May and a Leicester defeat ten days later may have come too soon; has potential as a sprinter and remains of interest.
