He looked booked for fifth 1f out on his Leicester debut (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago but the penny dropped and he kept on to snatch third close home; should relish 1m and he is open to plenty of improvement.

Big-race entries; upped to 1m when justifying favouritism in novice at Salisbury (good to firm) in September, asserting in good style; second of seven in last week's Listed Newmarket Stakes (1m2f, good) was another sizeable step forward and his dam was a 1m4f AW winner; more to come.

Sent off the 2-1 second favourite for his debut in a 7f newcomers' event at Sandown 11 days ago where he was prominent for a long way; ended up beaten over 5l but he was badly hampered and eased in the closing stages; 1m should suit and he is open to plenty of improvement.

Form & Verdict
Showed a good level of ability on his debut at Chelmsford (7f) 16 days ago, never looking entirely comfortable but sticking on well in the straight (squeezed up on the rail inside the final furlong); plenty of speed in the bottom half of his pedigree but looks worth a crack at 1m; stable have a good record in the race.
