Unraced on firmer than good except when well beaten on debut; highly progressive in handicaps and won at Windsor (11.4f, good) and Chester (10.3f, good to soft; first two 5l clear) on last two outings; keeps on finding more, and it's rash to say he can't do it again, but 9lb rise demands it for sure.

Well-related gelding who has done well since switched to handicaps, winning on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in January and going close at Goodwood (1m2f, good) 17 days ago; only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's an interesting contender at this new trip; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.

Usually ridden by Rose Dawes; won four of seven handicaps, all once visored, including from the front over 1m at Bath (good to soft) and Doncaster when returned to turf; helped to set a strong gallop when fifth of ten at Haydock latest but he needs to resume improvement and this new trip is not sure to help.

His narrow debut success in August hasn't been added to in six subsequent starts, including in three handicaps this term, latterly at 10.5f; drops in trip from a reduced mark but others have more compelling claims.

Made bright start as 2yo, before well beaten at big prices in two sales races in September; gelded and wore cheekpieces on handicap/seasonal debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm; 18-1) four weeks ago, when keeping on into fourth as if this trip is worth a go, but he needs to raise his game markedly.

0-5; both his handicaps have been at Chester (1m2f; good then good to soft); the third was encouraging and then reportedly unsuited by ground that connections described as tacky; cheekpieces go on this time and hard to discount.

Finished closer each time in his three-race 2yo career and met trouble in running when fourth of nine at Haydock (1m, good) on final outing, looking on an even keel only very late in the day when running on well; gelded the following day; highly likely to stay and he's a fascinating handicap newcomer who needs a close look for any strength behind him in the betting.
