Proved unable to complete a turf four-timer but quickly regained the winning thread at Southwell (1m, AW; shade comfortably) last time, taking record in handicaps to 4-6; progressive 3yo who may not have reached his ceiling yet; warrants respect upped further in grade.

Nothing in his first four starts on AW, but won his first three starts over 1m on turf this summer; only fourth of 12 off this mark in his bid for the four-timer at Newmarket (1m, good) 16 days ago (fifth has won since), but too early to suggest the handicapper has his measure albeit he has to prove himself back on the AW.

Fair maiden; best form as 2yo and easily best show this season was on penultimate start (1m, good to firm); needs to build on that, which he failed to do when tried in cheekpieces three weeks later; now fitted with blinkers.
