New personal best RPR when second at Newcastle this month, if not quite seeing out 1m from the front end; unchanged mark still feels a bit high, but William Pyle's useful 3lb claim could make a difference.

Not on terms in three runs on sound surfaces so far (7.5f-1m), betraying his greenness at least once; mark is no gift judged on those efforts, but trip is no issue on breeding; chance if visor lights the spark.
