Has looked a work in progress more than once and failed by some margin to consolidate previous efforts returned to Pontefract latest (6f); longer trip, gelding operation and blinkers need to prove transformative.

No great shakes on the Flat and the form of his Sedgefield win (narrowly on good) isn't mindblowing form; however, was ridden more patiently than An Bradan Feasa when 6l off that rival in Grade 2 here last month (on soft) and a mistake at the last flight didn't aid his cause; looks a key player.

Got the hang of things late on after a slow start when a keeping-on fourth on last month's eyecatching York debut (7f, good to firm); encouragement for longer trip on pedigree, and may prove the answer.
