6f Hamilton winner on good ground under Oisin Murphy as a 2yo; however, never figured on Epsom reappearance (7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) and subsequent Ffos Las second offers no proof that he's trained on given he was beaten 11l; Murphy is back on board now but it's not enough to tempt.

Made it two wins from his five starts when landing Haydock nursery (6f, good to firm) last month; merely mid-division at York since but in a hotter race than this; has shown promise on good to soft; has a chance.

A fair 5f juvenile winner; back to form with fourth in 5f Beverley handicap in May and didn't enjoy a smooth run (also stumbled 1f out) when sixth of seven at Pontefract (5f) last time; returns from a break in a competitive race and others may have his measure.
