Won two of his first four races, the handicap over Chester's extended 7f on good to soft; raced freely back there last month after a break and can improve on that form.

Made a pleasing start to his career when winning a Doncaster maiden (7f, good to soft; 7-2) in May, but only fourth under a penalty at Wetherby next time and has since bombed out (last of six) on fast ground at Newmarket (1m; on handicap debut); questions to answer.

Showed some promise without getting seriously competitive in two starts for Charlie Appleby last year (started as favourite on debut); since gelded and changed hands for 18,000gns in July; returns from a lengthy absence and the market should be a good guide on his debut for this trainer.

Gelded prior to his handicap debut at Lingfield three weeks ago (1m, AW) and he saw his race out well to reward odds-on backers; that was only a Class 6 event and he's been hit with an 8lb rise but the runner-up won next time and the form has some merit; still capable of better.

Five AW wins (at up to 1m) between last October and this March and back on the scoresheet at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) in May (form franked); another good run when third at Goodwood (1m, good) last time, when they went no pace; every chance he'll continue to improve.
