A whiff of ability on debut, less so on both starts since (blinkered latest) but going handicapping offers a far more realistic chance; it's his turf debut too but he's been absent since January.

Both wins have come at Kempton (6f, Polytrack), but he has mainly been racing over further this year; quiet in first two starts for this yard (1m/7f) and although the return to this trip may suit and he drops into a Class 6 for the first time, others are more compelling.

Plenty of ability in all three starts over 6f on fast turf, including when second of 13 (4l behind the winner) at Windsor in August; that's by far the best form on offer and all three of his winning siblings were successful on the AW, as was his dam; major chance back from a break.
