Looks all the better for being gelded, following his third at Newmarket (good) with a narrow verdict at Lingfield (11.6f, soft); 5lb higher but with Alec Voikhansky again on board and should be involved.

Offered little in her Irish handicaps, pulling up in the latest after winning a 1m2f good-ground claimer at Fairyhouse; not the safest option by any means but has joined a respected yard.
