Encouraging start to his career when third of seven in a Goodwood novice 19 days ago (6f, good); flashed his tail in the final furlong but that could have been down to inexperience; open to improvement.

Record of 2-2 on AW; doesn't look particularly solid on his two turf efforts, latest at Newbury (handicap debut) where he ended up last of 14 having raced freely and been eased once dropping away.

Inexperience evident on his 2yo debut (6f, good) and he has since made all for easy AW wins at Southwell (6f) and Wolverhampton (7f); the form of neither of those wins looks especially strong but he was in a different class to his rivals; this will be a far stiffer test of his credentials.

Both starts over 6f in October, winning well and strong at the finish in Southwell maiden latest; this colt is likely to stay 7f and holds leading claims despite conceding plenty of weight to the fillies.

Seven-race maiden; gave it a good go from the front at Lingfield in December (5f; blinkered first time) but two disappointing runs have followed; has been gelded since latest run and is down in class with a good apprentice booked so a revival not impossible, for all he carries risk.

Lightly raced compared to most of these and holds obvious claims on his last-time 6f win here in March; always the concern that he'll pull hard again, from a wide stall, after two months off, but he's been found the right race.
