Prominent racer; made it 2-3 with Listed win at Doncaster (7f, good) last September and heavy ground may not have been ideal in the Group 3 Horris Hill next time; reappeared with fair fourth to Field Of Gold in the Group 3 Craven over C&D (good) and may improve for that run, but looks vulnerable.

Gelded after a quiet debut and showed the benefit when runner-up at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) behind a Godolphin gelding who took four attempts to get off the mark; the form may not be good enough to win this and he tended to hang that day.
