Progressive; best effort when making all over 7f at Southwell last time (first-time tongue-tie, fifth has since won); should do better in handicaps, though step back to 6f isn't certain to suit.

Has offered virtually nothing in three runs in maiden/novice events at Southwell this year (7f-1m3f); he was a market mover on his debut, though, and a gelding operation and addition of visor could spark major improvement; interesting to see if his backers return.
