Timed it just right, getting up on the line, in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good to firm) on his reappearance for new connections in May; shaped well from too far back when third of 12 at Sandown (1m, good) since and his mark is still workable if things drop right.

Has a patchy profile but he got back near best with a strong-finishing success in a Class 2 handicap at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; that was in a bunch finish but he's only 2lb higher and is a big player if he can repeat that form.

Hold-up sprinter who won his first two starts for this yard at Yarmouth and Doncaster (both 6f; good and good to firm) in April; has found a mark in the low-90s beyond him twice since but didn't get a race run to suit here last time; now steps up to 7f for the first time with Colin Keane taking the reins.

Form & Verdict
Has won two of his five races since gelded, both over 7f on the Southwell Tapeta; latest fourth at Newcastle (7f) was a fine run as well, with the first three ridden handier and he found some trouble in running; should get involved if as effective back on turf.

Lightly raced for Roger Varian, winning a C&D novice as a 2yo; made a promising start for this yard when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; tongue-tie added) in March and the drop back to 6f looked against him at Ascot last month; still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and he could have more to offer back up in trip.
