Well-bred sort but he failed to threaten on his three 2yo starts for Clive Cox, the latest his handicap debut at Nottingham (1m, good) in October; sold for 16,000gns later that month; has to raise his game on stable debut.

0-4 for Clive Cox but 2-3 for this yard after narrow wins at Ripon (1m, good to soft) and over C&D (good to firm); came from off the pace a month ago to collect by a half-length off 5lb lower; well bred, he might well have more to offer.

Justified favouritism when beating a clear second on his seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; never dangerous when fourth in similar conditions at Nottingham last month but that was a Class 4 and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range; needs a close look on this drop back in grade.

He got better with each of his three runs in nurseries last autumn, winning comfortably at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November; gelded since; he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf but is bred to do better still and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he can continue the good work.

0-7 but he's shown enough at 1m on the AW to think there's a race in him and perhaps the first-time hood (now discarded) allied to good to soft ground combined against him back on turf at Ripon in April; sold for 8,000gns since; worth a look on debut for new yard.
