Found plenty for pressure to win by 2l on reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May and kept on for solid third at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) since; those performances, allied with his pedigree, indicate this lightly raced 4yo will be suited by this step up in trip; major player.

Close fifth in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) last June and close third next time, again at Ascot (1m, good to firm); has shown promise on soft ground; not at the top of his game on his final two outings last term but has an each-way shout if back to his best on this reappearance.

Pedigree a mix of speed and stamina; debut third worked out well and he then justified odds-on favouritism at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in workmanlike style, keeping at bay Wind River; did carry his head rather high there and he has a penalty, but in the right hands to progress; steps up in trip.

100,000euros yearling; fitted with cheekpieces on debut and the bare form of that narrow win at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) is nothing special; likely to need more if he's to defy a penalty.
