Midfield in York handicap (1m, good to firm) last month, which wasn't a bad run on his first outing of the year; gelded since; classy form in defeat in Group 3 and Listed races over 7f last season and he's not ruled out.

Promising fourth on debut at Newbury in May and has won his next three (7f, AW/good to firm), most recently last month's handicap debut at Newcastle; hit with 9lb rise but it was a smooth success and he could have lots more left in the tank; key player.
