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.

Below par at York latest but a wide draw made things tough for this prominent-racer; progressive otherwise, rallying when close fifth of 30 in the Royal Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) and when close third to Ebt's Guard at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two starts ago; of interest over today's extra 1f.

Form & Verdict
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.

Won Pontefract maiden for William Haggas last year; steady return to form of late in 1m2f Curragh handicaps, fourth behind stablemate Shaool and had to wait for an opening on Thursday but quickened up well to assert late on (yielding); shapes as though he'll appreciate 1m4f although career-best now required under mandatory 7lb penalty.

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.
