Unbeaten in four races, including 18-runner nursery here (6f, good) on penultimate run and a valuable sales race at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) last time; sets the standard on those last two wins and he gives the impression that he may do even better on this step up to 7f; strong contender.

Form & Verdict
Eyecatcher over 5f on first outing and he scored over 6f in next three runs, including a sales race at this track and a Listed event at Ripon (both on good); his winning streak came to an end at Newbury last month but the switch to front-running tactics may have backfired in that Group 2 event and he's a key player if he can get back near his best at this new trip (dam won over 7f).
