125,000gns yearling, 105,000euros breeze-up 2yo; 25-1 when a staying-on fifth of 12 on his Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) 18 days ago; this extra furlong should suit and he's a player with improvement likely.

Won his maiden here last autumn (1m); tumbled down the weights this year and the return to Tapeta, minus the cheekpieces this time, could well bring about improvement; interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Disappointing in retained cheekpieces last time when making handicap debut and bidding for a Kempton AW double (1m3f); chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Found a bit when stepped up to this trip here five weeks ago, getting up in the final strides to beat the only other runner in camera shot; doubt he's done improving and Harry Davies chooses him over stablemate Toastmaster, who he's ridden in four of his five starts.

He's raced ten times but has shown improved form of late, winning narrowly in a small field at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) then second to Into The Light at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and could better that performance now at 1m6f; unproven on slow ground.

Carried his head high in blinkers for last two starts but he challenged to win on the nod in a five-runner handicap at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) last time, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt; up 3lb and into a much more competitive race, he could still be thereabouts but others make more appeal for win purposes.

A string of minor honours but no win from his eight races; disappointing on good to firm at Ascot in May, in between showing his best form at Kempton (1m3f, AW) and Sandown (1m2f, good); blinkers were fitted for that latest start, when he came from the back for fifth of 12 despite carrying his head high, and this race is markedly less competitive.

Failed to beat a rival on his Salisbury debut (5f, good to firm) in May and although performing better when fourth of eight on his Ffos Las return (7.4f, heavy) 12 days ago, still finished around 11l behind the winner; needs more on AW debut and may be one for nurseries.
