Soft-ground winner on debut, campaigned on good/firmer since; hooded at Newmarket on last three starts, winning the Craven then short-headed in the 2,000 Guineas and third to Benbatl in the Joel (hampered then kept on); may well come on for the last run, which followed a layoff; open to further progress and looks interesting despite removal of the headgear.
