Some solid efforts earlier in the year include a win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February; not so good since April and he was tailed off in six-runner Brighton handicap on his turf debut three weeks ago; now makes classified debut and he'll need to put that firmly behind him; missed the break and never figured when beaten 18l at Wolverhampton yesterday.

Didn't live up to his market billing in two nursery runs last August; blinkered and returned to 6f for his return to action on New Year's Day (weak 14-1 shot) and couldn't go the pace, albeit behind a handicap blot; returns to 7f with new headgear tried.
