Showed clear promise last winter, which he made good on when winning a maiden at Worcester (2m, good; first run after wind surgery) in August; tailed off at 5-1 in quite a valuable handicap there eight days ago but is brought out again quickly; player if bouncing back.

Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Oliver; has shown promise in this sphere for Dan Skelton, in the frame in juveniles at Newbury and Ascot before making late errors when fifth of eight in 2m Ludlow juvenile in February; has since undergone wind surgery and holds leading form claims.

Useful Flat form at about 1m2f; beaten in the region of 10l in his two runs over hurdles despite taking a firm grip (tongue tied last time on soft; 2.25l behind Talakan); needs to settle better but this sharp track could benefit him.

Showed fairly useful level of form in four Flat runs and made promising start over hurdles when 9l third of ten at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last month, keeping on well having still had plenty to do when not fluent two out; open to lots of improvement; big player in first-time tongue-strap.
