Won maiden at Goodwood in June, went close at Ascot (again 1m6f) next time and got up in the final strides for another Ascot handicap (2m) on latest outing, all on good; up another 5lb and drops back in trip, which may not suit, but he is firmly on an upward curve; trainer won two recent Melroses.

Made his debut in May and improved for a clearcut maiden win when upped in trip at Goodwood in June; hot favourite for handicap debut here (again 1m6f on good) 13 days ago and launched a strong challenge from well off the pace but was held off by a head; up 3lb but he's an appealing candidate for 2m and further improvement.

Fifth in both starts last month, at Newbury (1m2f, good) and Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft); earns a mark after this, but can't be easily dismissed in a race lacking depth.
