Lightly raced 4yo who's without a handicap win but has mostly progressed in defeat, with the exception on heavy going; came from last to third in eight-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago for a promising reappearance and the two ahead of him filled the same positions over 1m6f here on Tuesday; changed hands since and has a major chance.

2-2 as 2yo and progressive last term in his first three handicaps, short-headed by another unexposed sort at Leicester (1m4f) on third occasion; underperformed on heavy going (he won on it as a 2yo) when joint-favourite for the November Handicap at Doncaster on final outing but that's not hard to forgive and this lightly raced 4yo, gelded since latest start, surely has more to offer.

Lightly raced 4yo who made it two wins for the year when scoring easily at Chester (10.3f, good) in May then finished second of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, albeit no match for the highly progressive winner; yard has won three of the last seven runnings and he could be a contender.
