Made it 4-4 in handicaps (and for this yard) when winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May and he's been a very creditable second on his next two starts, most recently over C&D when behind an exciting prospect from the Gosden yard; has the same mark as last time and could play a leading role.

Improving 4yo who tasted his first defeat in handicaps (had been 4-4) when unable to reel in the front-running Liberty Coach in Redcar's Zetland Gold Cup (1m2f, good to firm); that was no backward step and the 4lb rise is fair enough; considered.

Reappeared over C&D this month having been gelded, and in winning he made it 4-4 in handicaps and for this yard (the other wins were also over 1m2f on good to firm; two here); remains to be seen where the ceiling of his ability lies and a modest 3lb rise for last time could underestimate him.
