Some promise at Newmarket on his debut in April (7f, good) before bolting up over C&D two weeks later (good to soft); all the rage in the betting for his handicap debut at Haydock (6f, soft) five weeks ago but he ran no sort of race; could be a lot better than this mark but he has something to prove on fast ground and connections now reach for cheekpieces.
