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.

Fairly useful on the Flat at his best; held in second when odds-on for hurdling debut at Hexham (2m, good) but he built on that when trouncing two rivals at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last week; could have a lot more to offer in this sphere and he's respected under a penalty.

Less exposed than most of these and he was off the mark at the seventh attempt with an improved effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March; well held next time but his return to turf went well when short-head second at Leicester (1m, good; front pair came clear) on Saturday; backs up quickly from the same mark and he's an obvious contender if reproducing that effort; due a 4lb rise in future.
