Blotted his copybook by refusing to race on his first two outings, which will always raise concerns; much better since fitted with a hood (now discarded) despite being trapped wide off the final bend when runner-up over 1m2f (novice) at Lingfield in November.

Form & Verdict
Showed ample ability as a juvenile, and was only nabbed on the line at Redcar (7f, good to soft) in September; aimed high in a valuable sales race at Newmarket next time, but returns from a break over a new trip (should stay on pedigree) and on a new surface in a winnable maiden; shortlisted.

Best from the front; made all in a C&D maiden (good) in June and a Hamilton handicap (8.5f, good to soft) in July; latest York effort was a little disappointing and the widest stall could make it tricky for him to lead, particularly as there are some confirmed front-runners drawn much nearer the inside.

Came good at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in March and probably bettered that performance when close second at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in April; reportedly not suited by the sharp track at Cartmel when very disappointing favourite last month but might bounce back in new headgear here and is evidently versatile ground-wise.
