Proved a handful on first two intended starts and it took a gelding operation/third racecourse visit to get up and running, when he finished third of four at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm; beaten 9l) three weeks ago; might be capable of better now he's finally under way.

Hope for 1m2f on pedigree; ended last term with 7f and 1m AW wins; led over 2f out to over 1f out when creditable fourth of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, good; 25-1) three weeks ago, and perhaps he needed that race, but others seem to have more striking claims.

Improved upon first two runs (both on turf) to win at Southwell (7f, AW) last October, and followed up on handicap debut there (1m, AW); had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 12lb higher today with something to prove on turf, but is not discounted given the ease of that last win.

Sent off 80-1 but it was an encouraging debut when fifth of 13 at Doncaster (6f, good) in July; didn't build on that switched to AW and up to 7f next time; initial run sets the standard among the three with experience but he may be vulnerable to a newcomer.
