Looked promising in maiden/novice company, winning twice (7.5f and 1m); handicap career proving something of a damp squib and he's not getting much assistance from the assessor; risky back at 7f.

Favourite on all six starts; tongue tied for two wins and a second from his three handicaps, back up to 7f and striding out nicely when clearcut winner at Doncaster (good to firm) on latest outing; unraced on softer than good; up 8lb but this 3yo half-brother to top-class Baaeed and Hukum probably has plenty more to offer.

Started the year with a bang, winning a big-field 6f handicap at Newmarket's Craven meeting off this mark; good third back at Newmarket at the Guineas meeting (7f, good; strong form) but he has dipped since, including when ridden less positively in the Stewards' Cup last time; revival not impossible but others look more persuasive.

Just one run at 6f this year, when winning a big-field handicap at Newmarket's Craven meeting in determined fashion; good third over 7f at the Guineas meeting (strong form) despite fluffing the start; things have headed south since but he's feasibly treated on the Newmarket win and the return to sprinting can help.

7f wins last term at Ascot (good to soft) in July and Newbury (heavy) in September; only midfield when favourite for the Victoria Cup last month but close fourth at Doncaster 12 days ago was back near his best and, although this would be a rare run on good to firm, he has to be in calculations.
