Struggled on Newmarket debut in May but he's shown promise with his placed efforts at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and Kempton (7f, AW) since; that latest third was from a tough draw and he should have more to offer back on turf; in the mix.

Definite progress from Doncaster debut fourth when off the mark at the second attempt at Chepstow (7f, good; 7-2); that form is not overly strong but he's value for a bit more than the winning margin; fully entitled to make his presence felt against this calibre of opposition; player.
