Signed off for James Ferguson with win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June and has made the frame on both starts for new stable; settled better than is often the case when second in first-time hood back at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; one to consider.

Returned to form with C&D (good to firm) win for James Ferguson in June and was respectable fourth at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on last month's first run for Tom Clover; tends to face a bit too freely so it will be interesting to see whether switch from blinkers to a first-time hood pay dividends.

Beaten favourite on AW the last twice (7f/1m) but took his form figures to 62233 and is therefore proving a consistent sort; ran well in last turf attempt; fighting chance on nursery debut.

Progressive on the AW last winter, winning three times, latterly off tonight's mark; the return to Tapeta and drop back from 7f will help, with the visor experiment quickly binned, but he hasn't been in any form in three runs back from a break.

Ended last year with an emphatic win in Newcastle handicap (1m, AW); mixed record in five subsequent runs but he we went close at Newcastle in June and was placed behind an improver at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time; should appreciate this step back up in trip and he's in the mix for in-form yard.
