Half-brother to connections' smart Wimbledon Hawkeye; confirmed promise of his 2yo campaign by rewarding good market support on his handicap debut at Kempton three weeks ago (1m); a 3lb rise looks fair and he holds strong claims in his follow-up bid; cheekpieces worn once last year return.

Fared best of the newcomers when fifth of 11 on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) but failed to build on that at Goodwood (6f, good) last month; now steps up to 7f with cheekpieces applied on AW debut, and this half-brother to Wimbledon Hawkeye may yet do better.

Won over hurdles in June and back on the Flat with a win and a second in small-field 1m2f handicaps (only runs in cheekpieces); every chance at these weights, though slow ground would be a grey area.

Sauntered home in a June juvenile hurdle and, after getting turned over in similar event at Stratford six days later, he got up late to land four-runner handicap over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn that day are retained and he's respected up 3lb.

Often front-runner; four wins over about 1m this year and twice runner-up (Epsom and Chester) in quick succession when stepped up to 1m2f in June; kept on well under usual rider Rose Dawes last time and this trip is unlikely to be an issue, but further improvement is needed for sure.
