Made promising debut for Gosden stable in April and probably ran to similar level when second for new yard at Chelmsford (1m2f) last month; moves up in trip here and should still have more to offer; leading contender.

All-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May in his third handicap but flopped at Thirsk 18 days later and the jockey reported that he hung right-handed throughout; that run has to introduce a note of caution.

Improved his record to 2-6 when justifying favouritism with an all-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; hood removed) 18 days ago; hit a personal best on that switch to fast ground and he remains feasibly treated after a 3lb rise; big player again for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict

In the frame all three starts (1m2f-1m4f); displayed rather awkward head carriage in closing stages and was shade disappointing when third on AW debut at Chelmsford (1m2f; behind Incremental) three weeks ago but has a major role to play if the first-time cheekpieces get the best out of him here.
