Lightly raced 4yo who won maiden/novice races on turf last May/June and was a promising fourth of 14 at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March on his stable debut; however, not quite at the same level there (6f) since and he's up in grade this afternoon; others are more compelling.

Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at.
