Scored under Billy Loughnane at Southwell in September (1m) and ran well under a penalty over C&D next time; smidge disappointing in two handicap runs 132 days apart before stopping quickly on turf debut 19 days ago; much safer options elsewhere; cheekpieces introduced last time, retained.

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.

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.
