Well held in two 1m AW novices late last year, but is a much better performer now contesting handicaps on turf, getting off the mark in a four-runner event at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago (runner-up was bidding for a five-timer); much respected from 3lb higher if as effective back on Tapeta.

0-6 but he went close in a Thirsk handicap (1m4f, good) in May and backed that up with a creditable third in similar conditions at Goodwood last month; on the same mark as last time and he should be in the mix again; cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the fifth attempt when making all in first-time cheekpieces off 6lb lower at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) 26 days ago; has since left Andrew Balding (bought for 20,000gns) and this well-bred gelding steps up in trip for his stable debut.

Made all when winning in first-time cheekpieces for Andrew Balding at Chepstow two months ago (subsequently picked up for 20,000gns); much his best effort to date on AW debut last time (Polytrack) but has paid for that with a 7lb rise; needs more again.

Scored for Andrew Balding at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and subsequently sold for 20,000gns; has run well at Sandown and Ascot for new stable and should go well on AW debut.

Bought for 20,000gns out of Andrew Balding's yard after winning off 5lb lower at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces); ran okay at Sandown but no more than that in a small field over 1m6f; his new rider will have to navigate from the widest stall.
