Needs to rebound, having been disappointing at Pontefract last week; scored comfortably in Ffos Las maiden (6f, heavy) the time before and a reproduction of that form would put him in the mix.

Southwell novice winner (1m, AW) last November and, having been gelded, wasn't beaten far into fifth of 12 on last month's Sandown return/handicap debut (1m, good) when not enjoying a clear run; better is expected with cheekpieces given a go.

Failed to match market expectations in his two turf races last August (heavy/good to firm); much better in both AW novices at Southwell (1m) late last year, winning on first occasion; gelded since; needs better still on this return to turf for handicap debut but they usually run well from this yard when Oisin Murphy is booked.

Second to one who went on to complete a hat-trick next time before being demoted to second after dead-heating over C&D; beaten a little over a length, but managed only fifth, in muddling contest just four days later; this test should suit better.

Promising third at Nottingham in August (6f, good to firm); failed to build on it at Ffos Las a fortnight later but the heavy ground may have been a contributory factor; betting useful on nursery debut.
