Looked a good prospect when running away with a C&D novice on debut last December but disappointing on all three starts since, including when always behind on 7f Kempton handicap debut (first run since gelded) three months ago; hood worn on that occasion is quickly discarded; too soon to write off but arrives with something to prove.

Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here.
