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easily and posted a useful RPR in the process; unexposed for his top yard but the weather needs watching, having been withdrawn from a subsequent engagement on account of good to soft ground.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.

Raced rather lazily and finished about 6l behind Lucky Sevens when fourth on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) but has obvious scope to build on that performance over this longer trip.

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.
