Well held in his first three starts in novices last year, but improved to make a winning nursery debut at Brighton (7f, good to soft) in October; gelded soon afterwards and returns from 193 days off from a 6lb higher mark, but likely he has more to offer; extra furlong not a problem on breeding.

Didn't beat many in three 6f maidens on turf/AW last August and gelded soon afterwards, but he is nicely bred and the dam's side of his pedigree suggests this sort of trip could suit him better now making his handicap debut at a modest level after 227 days off; may be worth chancing.
