Can race freely but has responded well to blinkers, winning two of his three starts in this headgear (all on AW); up 7lb for the latest but that was quite decisive from off the pace and this could also be run to suit; 1m with cut underfoot is fine.

Ex-Eve Johnson Houghton; easily raced away with 1m handicap debut at Kempton; floundered on soft next time but didn't look overburdened off this mark back at Kempton in October considering he bled from the nose; needs to put that behind him in his first Tapeta handicap but of interest for new yard after 19,000gns sale.

Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction.
