Campaigned mostly over 6f but proved suited by the return to 7f last time, comfortably beating a couple of today's opponents in C&D handicap (good to firm); now 9lb higher but commands respect with further progress plausible.

Easy win in AW maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; saw off 21 rivals on his handicap debut at York (again 6f, good) in June and posted creditable placed efforts off 6lb higher on his next two starts; up a further 2lb but he's not fully exposed and this return to 7f (one run on debut) is firmly in range on pedigree; plenty to like.

Easy win in a 6f maiden at Kempton on his reappearance in May; made light of his opening mark when seeing off 21 rivals in a 6f handicap at York (good) in June; unable to justify favouritism in a hot Newmarket handicap last month but the ground was the fastest he has faced and he didn't look entirely at ease, doing well to take third as things panned out; that form looks strong and he remains with serious potential; of obvious interest if the going is deemed suitable.

Record over C&D reads 2121 with his two wins coming from the front, the latest an emphatic success under Rose Dawes eight days ago; too early to suggest that he has to lead in order to produce his best and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to stop him if in the same mood.
