Won 6f events at Naas (for Gavin Cromwell) and Ascot (led final strides after starting slowly) on first two starts; lost his unbeaten record but advanced his form when second in 7f Newmarket Group 3 (soft) last month, no extra late on; also missed the break at Newmarket, which is a slight worry, particularly back at 6f, but he holds leading form claims with the prospect of better again.
