Won on Polytrack (7f) and turf (1m) in two of his first three handicaps but he's not threatened in last two starts; 1m2f on soft ground may have stretched him at Haydock last time but he needs to kick on again to defy this mark.

Made a winning handicap debut on AW (7f) in April and doubled his tally when tackling turf for the first time at Newbury (1m, good to soft) in June; underperformed on good to firm back there in July (also non-runner due to quick ground at Glorious Goodwood three weeks later) but no surprise were he to resume his progression back on a softer surface; the way he saw things out when winning at Newbury suggests this sort of trip should be within range.

Form & Verdict
Beaten a nose on his handicap debut (7f), after which he was gelded; 2-2 in handicaps this year, winning narrowly at Wolverhampton in February and having more in hand than the head margin indicated over C&D two weeks ago; latest 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Comfortably the pick of his four 2yo runs came when second of 12 in a 6f maiden a Newbury (good to soft) last September; down the field at Goodwood one month later (Class 4; 7f); gelded since last seen; down in grade for his AW debut but has to prove he is worth this mark.
