Two juvenile wins came on his debut at Epsom (7f, good) around a year ago and at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in November; back at the former track when stepped up to 1m2f on soft ground for his handicap debut/reappearance but raced freely and was beaten 56l; that needs a lot of forgiving but the drop back to 1m, better ground and new hood are all reasons to expect better.

Won a small-field maiden here (7f, good) last July on debut; well held in eighth of 26 in a valuable sales race at Newmarket (7f, good) but he was on his own through the final 1f when making most to win at 1-2 in a novice at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in November; 1m2f is plausible and he should bring potential to this seasonal and handicap debut.

It was a weak race he won at Epsom (7f, good) three months ago but he did so easily and posted a useful RPR in the process; unexposed for his top yard but the weather needs watching, having been withdrawn from a subsequent engagement on account of good to soft ground.

Not without promise when in midfield on last month's Leicester debut and took a step forward when second of five at Epsom (7f, good) nine days ago, albeit 4l behind a newcomer; that wasn't a strong race, but neither is this so he has to make the shortlist.

7f/1m AW wins late last year; given every chance when 3l behind Laureate Crown at Sandown two runs back (1m, good) and then failed to make any impression in Newbury's always-strong London Gold Cup; pulling hard was the last thing he needed when upped to 1m2f in the latter but it wasn't the ideal preparation for this tough a test.

Hope for 1m2f on pedigree; ended last term with 7f and 1m AW wins; led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1) three weeks ago, and perhaps he needed that race, but others seem to have more striking claims.

Improved upon first two runs (both on turf) to win at Southwell (7f, AW) last October, and followed up on handicap debut there (1m, AW); had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 12lb higher today with something to prove on turf, but is not discounted given the ease of that last win.
