Comment: 135,000gns breeze-up buy; third at top tracks before finishing second to a Haggas horse at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft), where he raced too freely after an early bump; remains capable of better now into nurseries.

Comment: Last three runs were here; struggled over 6f last month but successful over 7f on either side of that, latterly in workmanlike fashion here on Tuesday (good to soft); carries a penalty but gives the strong impression that 1m will suit.

Comment: Visored the last twice; no match for the winner back in a novice last time (1m4f, good to soft) and no better than sixth in three previous handicaps (1m2f-1m6f); hard to suggest that he's well treated.

Comment: Rallied in the new blinkers to get off the mark at Haydock (11.5f, good; 2lb lower) but there were no excuses from the front when fifth of seven at Ascot (1m4f); that race was won by a progressive horse and he could bounce back over a new trip.
