Has progressed with every run and his form has a solid look; came from well back when leading late on at Doncaster (1m, good) at the start of this month; drops back 1f in trip but he's not short of speed; open to further improvement and high on the list.

Picked up from Johnny Murtagh for 48,000euros having run fairly well round Dundalk; solid start for his new yard when a clear second in muddling 7f Tapeta maiden on Monday and won't mind the longer trip on that evidence.

On the up since joining current yard, landing 7f Lingfield maiden (good) in May before he was beaten two short heads at Chester (7.5f, soft) a fortnight ago; runner-up was a convincing winner at Carlisle on Wednesday; up 2lb and he's a big player if this drop back down to 6f proves no barrier.

Won a fast-ground C&D novice last August and bumped into subsequent Listed runner-up Caim when second under a penalty back here (soft) in September; never involved in a big-field sales race at Newmarket final start but those C&D performances provide hope that she could go well now handicapping after a six-month break.
