Kept on for good third at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month and edged ahead close home to win at Ripon (1m4f, soft) last time; this 3yo is open to further improvement now up in trip and he's a strong contender.

One of two runners for Charlie Appleby; Kingman colt who cost 350,000gns as yearling; did well to get so close having blown the start on debut, then broke better and made all at Ascot (7f, good) in September; should progress further, provided he's as effective with the hood (worn both starts) discarded.

Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter.

Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though.
