Usually held up; third in a 2yo maiden was his sole run on softer than good; can race freely but showed improved form when upped to 2m for wins at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season, and he continued on his upward curve when a close, never-nearer third of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago; retains potential.

Promise in his qualifying races on turf, followed by two underwhelming runs in handicaps but he then delivered an improved show in nine-runner race at Kempton (upped to 2m, AW) four weeks ago, coming through strongly from last to first; 3lb higher today but he has more to offer as a stayer.
