Progressive sort who made it three wins in four starts this year when squeezing through (hit on the nose by rival's whip) to lead towards the finish and beat the reopposing Eduardo Calderon at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago; nudged up only 2lb and another bold bid looks assured if he as effective on softer ground (well held on good to soft last year but it was in a valuable sales race).

Beaten a nose on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f), after which he was gelded; won on Tapeta and Polytrack in next two starts and was a creditable second in his hat-trick bid at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; still lightly raced and he's a big player if he can transfer his progress back on turf.
