Record of 2-5 since switched to Polytrack, both wins over 7f; creditable fourth over 6f last time; has the ability to figure on Tapeta debut, especially granted his ideal tactics (3-3 when able to dominate).

Improved his record to 3-9 when making all at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) two weeks ago on his second run after a gelding operation; 4lb higher on this step back up in grade but that was a clear personal best last time and he should be fine back at 6f; shortlisted.

Promising colt who is two from two, having won 7f contests at this course and Lingfield, latter in emphatic style despite again drifting off a true line; strongly respected with further progress on the cards.

Looked a good prospect when scoring on his first two starts on the AW last winter but off the track since posting a good fourth of six in 7f Newmarket handicap in August; since gelded and this low-mileage 4yo remains with potential with cheekpieces fitted; interesting.

Progressive over 7f on the AW before finishing close up behind a well-treated winner over 1m at Sandown; only 18th in the Britannia but raced far side and was third of the ten runners in his group; may yet have a bigger run in him.

Form & Verdict
Made the frame in four of his five juvenile starts, respectable fourth at Southwell (7f) on sole AW attempt; gelded since last run; this switch to handicap level may suit and he gets weight all round.
