All starts at 6f on sound turf; big improvement second run and carried that over on next two starts, culminating with a win in Newmarket maiden (good to firm; Gouken third) in August; should have no problem with 7f and threatens to be very competitive on nursery/AW debut.

Off the mark in Hamilton maiden (good; second start) in June and won a Haydock nursery (also 6f; good to firm) in August; first attempt at 7f came in a warm York handicap and looked like that experiment was worth repeating back at 6f last time; respected on AW debut.

All starts at 6f; looked like there could be better to come when close third to First Time at Newmarket (good to firm) in August but hasn't quite kicked on from that and was beaten about 7l when second on nursery debut at Yarmouth a fortnight ago; soft ground a plausible excuse that day and now steps up in trip for this AW debut; pedigree suggests it may suit.

Won C&D maiden (second start) in July but hasn't gone on from that on turf and beaten about 6l in Newmarket maiden (7f, good to firm) next time; weakened to finish out the back in big Irish sales race 18 days ago but this assignment is much easier; not totally ruled out back here on handicap debut.

Good start when second at Redcar (5f) in May and justified solid support when landing a 13-runner course novice (6f) at the start of August; 16-1 for big Irish sales race but got no chance to show what he could do through the majority of that event 18 days ago; will be unlucky to suffer the same fate here; interesting on handicap debut.
