Made it two wins from four starts when scoring in good style on handicap debut here (1m2f, good to firm) last month; fared best of the larger near-side group when close fourth in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) three weeks ago and this unexposed 3yo is a leading contender off a mark 2lb higher than last time.

Won at Kempton (1m, AW) last August on second and final 2yo start and reappeared with good second there (1m) last month before winning on handicap debut at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); had just five rivals to beat last time but did it nicely from a next-time-out winner and a 4lb penalty may well not stop this very unexposed 3yo, who is in excellent hands to continue to progress.

Last of four on his debut (turf) last August; improved on his second start when leading late to take Kempton novice (1m, AW) three weeks later; took it up another notch on his belated return when second of 13 back over that C&D one month ago; holds a prominent position in the ante-post market for the Cambridgeshire and he's of clear interest on this handicap debut despite his opening mark asking a fair question.
