Arrives on a hat-trick after 1m3f AW wins for Andrew Balding at Kempton and Southwell, after which he was sold for 50,000gns; not fully proven on turf, although he did show promise at Haydock on his debut; has joined a very capable stable and may not have reached his ceiling just yet.

Much respected on his form for Alan King, for all that he was 1-22 for that yard; following a 30,000gns sale he ran okay over C&D on last month's stable debut, but no more than that.

All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere.

Very inconsistent in four starts for this yard this term and his good second at Windsor (11.5f, good) in May was flanked by a pair of 1m2f howlers; mark fine if he's on a going day but sole appearance here (well beaten when favourite last April) raises a further doubt.
