J: Warren Fentiman

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Fairly useful form when placed on first four starts, notably second of nine on 7.5f Beverley handicap debut (good to soft) in May; his run of consistent efforts came to an abrupt halt at Nottingham last time and cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that; shouldn't be far away if back to his best but still likely vulnerable to an improver.

Four placed efforts in the north reflect a consistent start to his career, good second in Beverley handicap (7.5f) most recently; related to a couple of winners for his owner and has shown enough to suggest he can emulate them; solid.

Promising debut in a traditionally strong York maiden last August (7f, good to firm; trained by John and Sean Quinn); couldn't build on it on a slower surface at Redcar in October (stable debut); remains with potential and this trip should suit on pedigree.

Down the field in three 7f novice runs last autumn but the fact he's a half-brother to useful winners in France and the US marks him down as a potential improver in low-level handicaps; one to keep an eye on in the betting.
