Fine stamp who is unbeaten since contesting handicaps; made all to land his third such race when defying penalty to score at Kempton (6f, AW; Hallo Spaceboy second, Night Mission fifth) one month ago; also won on turf (good to soft, acts on good) and doesn't have to lead; impossible to ignore in current mood.

Didn't look to see it out on his final two runs last year and 7f has again looked beyond him the past twice, off the back of a solid AW comeback off 2lb higher; today's stiff 6f should be more up his street and he's worth a second look.

Podium finishes on all three 2yo novice starts for Mark Rimell, almost holding on at Redcar (6f, good; bumped late); yet to scale those heights in handicaps this term despite starting off on a tolerable mark, traffic not costing him a win latest; hopes rest with change of scenery since.

Second or third in his three runs in 2yo novice events (all 6f, good ground or slower); unplaced in two 6f handicaps this year but he drops in class today and his pedigree strongly suggests stepping up to 7f will help; finished behind Dublin Bay at Ascot last time but was racing away from the main action; well drawn and a return to more positive tactics could see him run a big race.
