Has progressed with every run and his form has a solid look; came from well back when leading late on at Doncaster (1m, good) at the start of this month; drops back 1f in trip but he's not short of speed; open to further improvement and high on the list.

Chelmsford third last August (first run for this yard, among the winners of late) worked out well and he improved on that when off the mark on Wolverhampton AW (7f) in September; looks to start handicap career on a feasible mark and he goes on the shortlist.
