Good second in sales and Listed races over 6f at York during his 2yo campaign; not in anything like the same form this term, including here, and still needs to prove that he's trained on; record is only 1-12.

Two of his best 2yo runs came over C&D, including a Listed second in October (good); however, he's been a long way below that level on both starts this term, most recently in a 5f Listed race here (good) last month.

Sole success came in four-runner Hamilton maiden (5f, good to soft) but it was a fine effort when second at 66-1 in very valuable sales race at the Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm) and bettered that form when runner-up in Listed event back here (good) in October; floundered on heavy ground next time, however, and down the field in Newmarket handicap on return; work to do even if this track brings out the best in him again.
