Runner-up in a newcomer's event at Windsor on debut (7-4f) but he hasn't kicked on since, albeit he got squeezed up at a crucial stage at Doncaster on second start; reportedly unsuited by good to soft ground when flopping at Newbury in July, after which he was gelded; clearly thought to be better than we have seen but could probably do with it drying out.
