Improved significantly on debut form when making much of the running at Thirsk (6f, good) last Friday; plenty more progress required in such a competitive race as this, but he's clearly going the right way.

Didn't run anywhere near as poorly as a 12l defeat might indicate on his Newcastle debut three weeks ago (6f, AW), making some headway when having nowhere to go up the stands' rail from 1f out; should know more this time and he's one to consider.
