Didn't cope with soft ground on seasonal/handicap debut in April but his close third (just behind Taritino) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago was much better; 1lb lower here and the first-time blinkers might give him a boost.

Struggled in his first four starts but, having been gelded, he was runner-up in handicaps at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Brighton (6f, good to firm) in his two runs since; made late headway in the latter after suffering interference at the start, so it looked an encouraging run and opened up the possibility that 7f could suit; well capable of a leading role.
