Promise at two but there was no immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Beverley last month; perhaps sharper with that run behind him and still capable of better.

No show in two runs as a 2yo on turf but he fared better when second to a red-hot favourite over 1m here on his return last month; handicapper has taken a dim view of that run though and he'll need further progress to defy this mark.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt (first run over this trip) when winning a C&D nursery in October; couldn't back it up the following month, after which he was gelded; still has time to do better and the market should provide clues after six months off.
