Off the mark in 7f AW novice in December; strong start to handicap career when runner-up to Ten Carat Harry on the other course here (6f, good to firm) in May but York's sharper test in June didn't look ideal when beaten about 5l behind Thunder Call; may well do better today.

Comfortably won Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last December on third start and beaten just a neck on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; his dam was a Group 2 winner and he's in excellent hands to continue to progress; firmly in calculations up 3lb.

Both wins have been on the AW, including a maiden success over C&D in April, but he was only narrowly denied in second-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; they're now swapped for blinkers and he has to be considered dropping back down in grade.

Justified favouritism in a Lingfield maiden in June before scoring on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good to firm) last month; held in third in hat-trick bid at Newmarket but that was a tactical race and was beaten less than 1l; looks interesting off same mark here and should have more to offer at this trip.

Useful effort when winning on second start, making all over 7f on Kempton AW last August; a Group 3 next time proved too much, too soon, and he wasn't seen again until making his handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month, where he ran with more promise than the beaten distance suggests; drying ground a help and open to improvement.

He's got better with each of this year's three runs and he got back on the scoresheet when making all with something to spare at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) last month; 6lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive colt could make another bold bid.
