Didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut in April (1m, AW), when he reared at the start, but this very lightly raced 5yo showed what he is capable of when second at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when denied a clear run; unproven on slow ground; on the shortlist.

Showed promise in four handicap starts around 1m on turf in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh last year; new connections went to 58,000euros to acquire him in November and are quick to step him up in trip (also AW debut); market confidence could prove significant.

Showed some ability last year, as when a close third of seven on handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) in September; gelded and underwent wind surgery prior to not justifying market support on last month's Southwell reappearance (1m, Tapeta); interesting to see if his backers return.

Posted an improved effort when a close-up third of seven on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) 231 days ago and has since undergone gelding/wind operations; also has the tongue-tie back on and he's a contender back on the AW.
