Hasn't fulfilled the promise shown when runner-up to Economics then Lead Artist (1m, good to soft/good) in the spring on his first two starts; unraced on soft/heavy ground; however, this 3yo remains lightly raced and may benefit from today's step up in trip; not written off.

Generally consistent 4yo, who made all at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and things didn't go his way back on turf there last time; has claims if he can bounce back but stall 14 could make things tough and there are some other pacesetters in the line-up.
