Two 2yo wins (including on soft ground) and back on the scoresheet at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; another big run when second of 13 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he's a headstrong sort but that didn't stop him finishing strongly last time and this first crack at 1m is well worth a go; he's one to consider.
