Promising run in the Brocklesby (5f, good to soft) in March and again finished fourth at Beverley (5f, good) last month; vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but the step up to 6f is a likely plus; can run well.

In frame all three runs this year, although he didn't go with much fluency when fourth of six at Musselburgh (1m; wore cheekpieces) on latest; more required against some unexposed rivals.

Best efforts to take minor honours in handicaps for new stable on all three starts this season, over 1m2f on last two occasions; lost out in a sustained duel at Redcar (good to firm) last time but kept on well; not the most stoutly bred and today's extra distance needs to spark some improvement.

Went close on stable debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in February and again ran well when third of six at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) latest; however, it's possible he's better at a shorter trip and best form thus far has come on AW.

Comfortably the fastest finisher in a well-run 1m handicap at Kempton on last month's stable debut, beaten just a neck; stamina for the extra 2f has to be taken on trust but his stable are going well over jumps and he could still have mileage in this mark.

Won maiden/novice races at Ayr (6f, good to firm/good) last season on two of his first three starts; came up short in Group/sales races otherwise but reappears having been gelded and he could prove well suited by this first crack at 5f; interesting on handicap debut, especially if backed.
