Promise in three starts for the Gosden stable and he caught the eye when third of 15 at York (1m2f, good) on last month's stable debut; again shaped promisingly at Hamilton (8.5f, good) next time, despite the steady gallop not suiting, but was disappointing back at York 12 days ago, albeit he may have not been helped by ending up towards the far rail; drops in grade and he's the type to bounce back if getting this run to suit.
