Made quite promising seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) last month and arguably ran better than eventual 13l defeat suggests when a weakening sixth at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; eased in grade with Billy Loughnane booked here; worth a second look.

Successful AW debut as 2yo but was up against it in a sales race next time (sole turf run); back on the AW since, running well in a 7f Chelmsford novice on final 2yo start and doing as well as could be expected on his recent belated reappearance; has a surface query back on turf but should have some potential off this mark.

His two runs over 7f on Polytrack last year were much better than one over 6f on turf, the latest when second of 11 in a Chelmsford novice in September (form worked out well); gelded since and worth a second look on handicap debut after 321 days off.
