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.
