Won twice at two and his defeats came in races won by top-notchers; has also kept good company this season, running well on the AW before failing to fire around Chester in the 1m2f Listed Dee Stakes; while that wasn't the ideal preparation for a Britannia, he'd be no forlorn hope if back on song.

Looked a work in progress last season before doing it easily in a 7f AW novice in September; gelded afterwards and was noticeably strong in the market when making a successful handicap debut at Goodwood (good), where he needed all of the 7f to seal the deal; 5lb higher but this extra furlong could make a huge difference to him; one of three runners for Ralph Beckett who took this race in 2019.

Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his).
