Won on fast ground last May at Salisbury (1m6f) and Bath (11.5f); tailed off later that month but his recent reappearance here was a step back in the right direction; each-way claims if he's come on from that run.

Fairly lightly raced 4yo who left Harry Charlton after an underwhelming effort over C&D in October; swiftly in the groove for this yard and he followed encouraging second at Bath (1m6f, good to firm) in May by landing breakthrough success at Chepstow (1m4f, soft) three weeks ago; acts on Tapeta and he's firmly considered up 5lb.

Unraced at two; just five starts for Harry Charlton and following 18,000gns sale it was a good start for these connections when second at Bath (1m6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely softer ground is an unknown but he attracted support ahead of that stable debut and should cope with this drop back in trip; player.
