He's been up and down this season but soft ground may not have suited over C&D a fortnight ago and he's won three of his seven starts this term (6f/5f, AW/good to firm), the latest at Sandown in July; this 3yo remains lightly raced and it will be no surprise if he bounces back.

4-6 in handicaps and looked a natural over the minimum trip at Sandown 34 days ago, leading over 3f out and in no danger after (backed into favouritism when taking on his elders for the first time); 6lb rise justified; dual C&D winner who can be seriously involved.

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.
