Off the mark in a Leicester novice in June and his nursery debut fourth behind Lil Brother at Windsor (also 5f, good to firm) last month was a solid effort; hasn't always looked entirely comfortable on quick ground so this forecast easier surface might suit.

Second at Bath (5.7f, good) was a lot better than debut, despite a stumble leaving the stalls, and he went one better with similar form in an eight-runner maiden at Leicester (5f, good to firm; led over 2f out) later in June; should bring potential to handicaps.

Third foal out of a 6f AW winner (RPR 70); shaped well when fourth of 13 on debut at Doncaster (5f, good to firm; dwelt start) 40 days ago; should do better with that experience behind him and he's respected.
