Did it well when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December, but having been sent off 15-8 favourite he proved disappointing when only beating one home on his Newbury reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in April; returns from a gelding operation with something to prove.

Similar level of form in his first two starts, the latest when third of ten here (7f) last month; can be handicapped after this, but still one of the likelier winners in a race lacking depth.

Broadly similar efforts in a trio of 1m maidens on synthetics last backend, and remains to be seen whether the RPR of 90 for last week's 5l sixth of six in a slowly run Blue Riband Trial (good) flatters him; winning exploits of one half-sibling at 1m4f and beyond offer encouragement.

Made it fourth time lucky with cheekpieces added (retained) when easily seeing off six rivals in a 1m4f Thirsk novice (good to firm) a fortnight ago; the form of his Windsor third on good ground prior to that has been boosted and he's likely capable of bigger performances in handicaps; shapes as if he'll stay this sort of trip.
