It wasn't the strongest of races in which he finished third at Wolverhampton on debut in September (7f) but it was still an encouraging start to his career and he should be more clued up off the bridle with the run behind him; one to consider.

Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f).
