Secured a fourth win (three on turf) when taking Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW) on his April reappearance but that hasn't been backed up in two subsequent starts; latest fourth was a step back in the right direction, however, when shaping like this first attempt at 1m4f is worth a go; 1-1 here and he holds each-way prospects.

Acts on good to firm and good to soft; reappeared with a comfortable AW win in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back again after that but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form.

Brother to three winners with peak RPR of at least 111, notably Journey (1m2f-1m4f including Group 1; RPR 120), so going handicapping off a mark of 66 has to catch the eye; latest was easily his closest finish, when about 7l sixth of nine in Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm; 50-1) in April, and he's been gelded since; needs better but market confidence would be interesting.

Only one win (14 races) but that 1m handicap in June was at this track; ran respectably next time and rallied into a close fourth of five for slowly run race on latest; needs to find extra but his tongue-tie (worn two and three starts back) is restored and new trip now looks worth a go.
