Just lost out on handicap debut here in May and two wide-margin wins followed, over C&D and at Carlisle (good to firm and good); has taken a steep rise in the weights but subsequent defeats aren't conclusive evidence that he's reached his peak; likely to figure.

Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when trouncing his rivals at Windsor and he followed up with a 5l success at Carlisle (1m, good) last month; shot up the weights after those wins but he ran another good race when a close fourth over C&D last month; needs to kick on again to defy this mark but he's still lightly raced and is bred to be useful.
