Added to dual British 7f wins when bagging the Habitat handicap (6f, good) at the Curragh last month on second start for new yard, struggled to find a gap before blasting home to win by a neck (ahead of many of these); 5lb rise seems fair and this trip is fine; shortlisted.

Two 7f wins in Britain last year for Willie Haggas included final start in Newbury handicap (soft) in first-time tongue-tie; bought for 48,000gns and okay comeback run (tired late on) behind a stablemate at Naas last month for which he is entitled to come on for but has a bit to find with several of these on that run.

One of three for yard; won two for William Haggas, a 7f Haydock maiden (good) and a 7f Newbury handicap (soft) on his final run for that yard in October; bought for 48,000gns later that month and the market can guide on first start for new yard.

7f maiden winner at Haydock in July (good ground); handicaps have proved more challenging since but he ran okay given he was trapped wide at Kempton last time (1m); tongue-tie now tried; still to prove he wants slow ground but in good hands and could yet find a surge of progress.

Probably didn't have to improve when easily landing a Haydock maiden (7f, good) in July, but has twice disappointed in two handicaps on a soft surface; interesting now switched to the AW, albeit drawn a bit wider than ideal.
