Winning 5f debut; had wind surgery after abortive Royal Ascot run and only just failed to make a successful handicap debut at Newmarket (7f; form worked out) in August; challenge petered out on a quickish return at York (7f) but he still has something to offer at this level now back at 6f.

Made a winning debut in spite of the 5f trip here in May; down the field in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, after which he underwent wind surgery; well backed on his recent nursery debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) where he couldn't quite peg back a rival who enjoyed the run of the race; raised 2lb but it's unlikely we have seen the best of him just yet; stable won this race last year.

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful sprinting pedigree; 16-1 for novice at Pontefract (5f, good) one month ago, rather slow to get the hang of things but seeing it out strongly to finish a close third of eight, just in front of Under The Radar who was hampered (and now gives 5lb); his career is underway in positive style.

Hasn't matched his fairly useful debut RPR for the Quinn yard in two subsequent outings but he did make quite an encouraging return from a year off for his new stable when fourth in C&D novice (good) ten weeks ago; potential improver in handicaps.

Eyecatching third on his debut for the Quinn yard last spring before hanging left when beaten at a short price at York a month later (front pair proved useful in both races); absent for a year since and the market will be the best guide for his new trainer.

Met traffic problems at Pontefract and was then passed for third by strong-finishing Bravo Hotel; confirmed the positive impression when making all in a maiden at Thirsk (again 5f on good) 11 days ago, with more authority than winning margin; that's a promising start but he has 5lb penalty.

Some smart sprinters in his pedigree; had a slow start for Karl Burke but he ran better than the finishing position suggests when sixth of eight on handicap debut at Beverley (5f) in July, when checked on the rail at a crucial stage; should have some potential for new yard.

Two siblings won Listed and Group 2 sprints; clear evidence of ability at York (5f, good to firm) last May, behind rivals who are way above this bracket; off for 11 months after and he didn't show much on his return at Doncaster in April but his AW run since (first-time cheekpieces, retained) was better; no surprise if he goes well on handicap debut.
