Has his quirks but has won three times in today's headgear combination on turf this season (1m1f-1m2f); not at best at Redcar (1m2f) ten days ago but should be fine back on Tapeta and could plausibly still have untapped potential over 1m4f.

Not straightforward but it hasn't prevented him notching three wins this season, the latest at Hamilton over 1m1f on heavy (has also won on good to firm) 13 days ago; the runner-up went one better at Ayr earlier this week so his mark is likely still workable if he keeps his quirks in check.

Close second of five in a Redcar nursery (1m, good) last November but he's finished tailed off in three handicaps this season; still has low mileage but he returns after four months off and has a lot to prove for new yard (changed hands for 9,000gns).

Beaten a long way on reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, he may have needed the run and he was a close second of five at Redcar (1m, good) last November in his sole nursery; a case can be made on that form.

Fairly useful form when placed on first four starts, notably second of nine on 7.5f Beverley handicap debut (good to soft) in May; his run of consistent efforts came to an abrupt halt at Nottingham last time and cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that; shouldn't be far away if back to his best but still likely vulnerable to an improver.

Four placed efforts in the north reflect a consistent start to his career, good second in Beverley handicap (7.5f) most recently; related to a couple of winners for his owner and has shown enough to suggest he can emulate them; solid.

He had looked limited until picking up an AW nursery (7f) at 50-1 in November; well held behind Black Rock Beauty over C&D in May (attracted support), however, and his last two starts, both here, contained little encouragement (tried over 1m2f last time).

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when streaking clear of six rivals at Wolverhampton 23 days ago (8.6f); not sure he needed to improve to win that modest affair (2-9 favourite) but earlier Wolverhampton second showed he could compete off this sort of mark.

His Beverley run on second start was disappointing but he led 2f out and was collared in only the final strides by Stoneacre Donny at Thirsk (7f, soft) on latest; the dam's side poses a question mark over his stamina but this Frankel 2yo should prove capable of better.
