Out of a useful 1m 2yo winner; race a bit too freely but still made very pleasing debut when keeping-on second of ten at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month; makes obvious appeal here.

Promise as a 2yo and his seasonal return at Thirsk was encouraging too; not at his best at Musselburgh 15 days ago but he is edging down the weights.

No problem with soft ground and he returns to Class 5 after two defeats at a higher level; only 3lb higher than for his front-running win at Thirsk (6f, good) in June; not ruled out.

Ought to be open to some improvement at this level but he again failed to conserve his energy on handicap debut at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in July and his challenge was very short-lived; reservations.

His two runs this year have both threatened better and this well-bred 3yo moves into handicaps with some potential; he could do with settling better if he is to fulfil it though.

Last season's novice win came on good to firm (7.5f); this year's defeats at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft; ran well) and Newmarket (good to firm; not so well from the front) mark him down as an unlikely winner of this.

Debut winner over 6f at Hamilton (good to soft); failed to justify a shade off odds-on when penalised at Southwell (7f AW) and that was disappointing, for all that a very slow pace might not have helped; bred to improve for this longer trip.

Created pretty good impression when keeping on too strongly for odds-on favourite at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last June, shaping as though this extra furlong would suit; not seen since but remains a good prospect.
