Out of a middle-distance winner; duly proved suited by the step up to 1m2f at Windsor (good; handicap debut) most recently, beating Spaceport and Monterosa; raised just 3lb and may well build on that success.

Achieved little twice over hurdles before his third of five from the front over C&D two months ago when last seen; that was comfortably his best show on AW but he needs to find extra.

Has raced only on soft/good to soft; opened his account at Ripon (1m) in August; nearly collared Curran at Pontefract (1m2f) on latest novice outing and is set for an interesting rematch on the same terms; major contender.

Sole win from eight starts came last August, following a close call at this track (soft) the time before; has contested three 1m2f handicaps this term, easily best of those efforts when third at Sandown (good to soft; 2lb lower today) on second occasion; never dangerous in London Gold Cup at Newbury latest; others may bring more potential.

Improving colt who is bidding for a 1m2f hat-trick, having scored over this trip in last two novice runs, latest at Pontefract (good to soft) where he beat Prepschool by short head; rock-solid contender who warrants respect.
