Bang in form on the AW before going off too fast when made favourite for his turf debut in a 6f handicap at Ripon; remains of interest and looks sharp enough for 5f; gelded since.

Promising runs for David Menuisier whom he left for 9,000gns; gelded ahead of stable debut at Wolverhampton where he was beaten 7l in a small field; may have needed that after a lengthy break and there are races in him.

Outpaced for a long way at Haydock (6f, soft; 14-1) but the leaders stopped and he won going away; could have been flattered but clearly has a fair level of ability and Jack Dace's claim takes care of much of the penalty.
