He isn't progressing but there was money for him at Wolverhampton 16 days ago (5f), only for him to be hampered leaving the stalls and then short of room soon after the start, ending up poorly positioned; didn't look straightforward in the home straight though and a wide stall isn't ideal for this free-going colt.

Not progressed on turf, pulling too hard upped to 7f last time; isn't bred for 5f and he'll need to improve a deal for the switch to the AW.

Finished closer when fifth of eight on nursery debut here (6f, good; 22-1) 13 days ago and he shaped as if moving up in trip would suit; needs markedly better but worth a second look.

100,000gns yearling whose well-bred dam was useful; soundly beaten on his three starts (6f, good to firm) and not obviously well treated off his opening mark, but improvement is possible and a market check is advised.
