Promising in his first three 2yo runs but he couldn't quite cut the mustard in nurseries thereafter; gelded prior to his reappearance; still has time to do better but he returns in a warm race.

Of interest on the form he showed on his first three starts but stepping up to 6f hasn't helped in either nursery run; eased in class this time and he's high on the list back at 5f.

Has posted progressive RPRs, going close in a 5f Musselburgh maiden (good) 12 days ago; should be at least as effective back at 6f now moving into nursery company.

Three wins as a 2yo, including here (5f, good), and he has run some solid races in defeat this year; latest fourth here (5f, good) came in a Class 2; one to take seriously upped a little in distance and dropping back down in class.

Hasn't built on his nursery success at Carlisle (6f, good) last August but he ran well at York in May and made some late gains at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he could go well off a sliding mark.

Raced at around 5f, scoring on debut at Wetherby (good to firm); came up short at Listed level on next two starts before making a successful start to his nursery career in a small-field race at Hamilton (good) last month; found out when stepped back up in class for the Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood since but this is more realistic now tackling 6f for the first time.
