Looked a smart prospect when winning a maiden at Leicester (1m2f, good) in April and a novice from off the pace at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in July; in which case, even though there's another unbeaten handicap debutant in this field, he should have bright prospects.

With this visor back on, and back on better ground, he returned to form with a well-backed win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, coming clear with a runner-up who was returning from a long absence and won at Sandown on Thursday; an 8lb rise might not stop him.

Won a Salisbury maiden (1m2f, good to firm) last June when sporting first-time cheekpieces for previous yard; yet to score for current stable but he's been placed on six of those seven starts and it was a narrow defeat when second of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm; visored) under Silvestre De Sousa latest; soft going would ask a question but he's well drawn to go forward and newly fitted blinkers might eke out more.
