Won two 6f novice races last season (good to firm/good) and added 7f Listed honours on the AW in February, after which he was gelded; never really sighted when behind some of these on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f; 18-1) but that was after nearly three months away; entitled to run better this afternoon but others are probably on kinder marks.
