Improved with each 2yo run but his second of eight on Lingfield AW (1m) in December came in an ordinary novice; entitled to need the run on handicap/turf debut at Leicester (7f, good to firm) and he ran respectably in sixth, eased when beaten; may be capable of better over the new trip.

Well held in his first two juvenile runs but he showed clear promise when runner-up in a Lingfield novice (1m, AW) in December; drops back in trip after a break but he pulled hard last time and is open to more progress on this handicap debut; interesting contender with Rossa Ryan booked.

Still a maiden after six starts but lost out only by a short head over similar trip to today's at Haydock (good; wore cheekpieces) three weeks ago, despite racing too freely; might be more relaxed with the headgear left off here; respected.
