J: Benoit De La Sayette

Dual novice winner in early part of this year (1m/1m2f); yet to make his mark in handicaps but contested two hot races before chasing home an exciting prospect at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm; first-time hood) in August; not a straightforward ride but could still have a bigger run in him.

Won two of three novice events, latterly in pretty smooth fashion at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; racing so freely has not helped when well held in hot handicaps at Royal Ascot (1m4f) and Newmarket (1m2f; made most) and he's better than those results; has his sights lowered but still needs to settle with the new hood.

Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many.
