Won last October over 1m2f at Windsor (good) and Newmarket (soft) in his two nurseries; gelded in November and finished last when back for two races last month, despite market interest; that was discouraging and connections now turn to cheekpieces.

Expensive to follow in the main but this lightly raced 4yo kept on well when a close third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown (1m, good) last time and could build on that now back up in trip; has shown promise on good to soft; he's one to consider.

Acts on heavy; finally off the mark in 1m novice event at Windsor in June; folded tamely in 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood next time and again weakened out of it at Kempton (1m3f, AW) five weeks ago; that's led to wind surgery and today's visor, and he'd be a contender if back to his best.

Met all sorts of trouble on reappearance and has otherwise been in the frame every time; second off this mark at Haydock (1m, good) before getting off the mark by a neck in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; this marked increase in trip is interesting, including as his dam was a 1m3f winner and close relation to a King George winner at 1m4f.

Promising belated return at Chelmsford (1m) 15 days ago when after racing prominently, and looking likely to give way gracefully, he rallied to take a close third; the two ahead have marks in the 90s so this mark is no gift but he looks ready for a step up in trip; interesting handicap newcomer.

Wide-margin winner of 1m1f handicap at Newmarket on final 2yo start but seen just once in each of the next two seasons so although he caught the eye at Newbury (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie, retained) last month it's hard to know which way he'll go from that; clearly retains potential, though.
