Hung under pressure when a beaten favourite in his first two runs and contested a warm race last time (new cheekpieces); not obviously well treated but being gelded might make a difference; market informative.

Off the mark (sixth attempt) when scoring at Newbury (6f, soft) last month and he followed up in another nursery at Ayr (6f, good) at two weeks ago; looks open to more progress but he recorded an RPR of 85 last time and has plenty to find in this tough race.
