Slowly away and his inexperience was very evident when making a promising debut here (33-1) in June; 8-1 for maiden at Goodwood (again 7f on good to firm) but failed to improve significantly, carrying his head high and again looking raw; 1m will suit and there's still time for him to get the hang of it, but others have more pressing claims.

Narrowly won a Kempton novice (1m; made all) in August and secured a 7f win there on his return last month, getting up late on in his third handicap (runner-up has won subsequently); pedigree suggests this trip will unlock more and he should make his presence felt up 3lb under Ryan Moore.
