Led towards the finish in 1m Lingfield maiden at the start of the month; may have followed up in 1m2f handicap there but for being quite badly hampered over 1f out; has looked slightly awkward but first-time cheekpieces may help in that regard and there's little doubt he has the ability to win off this mark.
