Won two AW novice races in March; only eighth of ten on his turf/handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month but he was made favourite for the fourth time in four races when running better at Kempton (1m4f, AW) 18 days later, albeit in only fifth of 13; dropped just 1lb; still has potential but he can go freely and has been a work in progress.
