Comfortably made all in 14-runner maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good; clear lead long way) last May and raised his game again to win five-runner race at Sandown (1m6f, soft; went on 3f out) on handicap debut last July; up 6lb and off since but 2m looks well worth a shot and this very lightly raced 4yo is one to note.

In and out last season for Michael Bell, the high points coming when second in big fields at York (good to firm) in May and the Curragh (good to yielding) in September; all his best efforts have come over 1m2f so today's shorter distance is a concern but it's possible he'll be freshened up by a change of stable (same owner).
