Created a positive impression when winning at Pontefract on debut in August (6f, good to firm) and he ran to a similar level when trying to concede weight to two useful sorts at Chester later that month; sets the standard and there should be more in the tank; AW debut.

Godolphin colt who has progressive 6f form and should be 3-3 (would likely have won on debut but for blowing the start); the manner of his wins at Windsor (soft) and Yarmouth (good) suggest he'll cope with this drop in distance; respected.

Flourished when switched to heavy and soft ground last autumn, winning over 6f and 7f; retains ability as a 3yo but he might have run better at Ayr last month when back on soft ground (first-time visor now discarded) and hard to depend on a turnaround.

Likes testing ground as he showed when winning nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) a year ago; has run with credit a couple of times in a light campaign this year, but still 4lb above his last winning mark; probably needs the new visor to make a difference.
