Dual 1m4f winner here who ran poorly when last seen eight months ago (was withdrawn a week later, when found to be coughing, which may have had something to do with it); interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far.

Recorded back-to-back wins at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in July and Newmarket (1m2f, good) in August; raced too freely when fifth of eight at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) but if he can settle then he holds good claims on this step up in trip.
