Ran to a similar RPR in three runs for Ralph Beckett as a 2yo, getting off the mark in a small-field 6f novice at Wolverhampton when last seen in October; sold for 26,000gns soon afterwards; capable of better but such progress will be required to defy this mark.

Unplaced in his one turf start as a 2yo; gelded afterwards and made a winning reappearance when dead-heating in a Chelmsford maiden six weeks ago (6f); narrowly defied a penalty at Lingfield 13 days later and that form has been boosted with the second and fourth winning since; needs more to defy this mark but he is willing and could progress further.

Promise as a 2yo; gelded prior to his reappearance at Wolverhampton 23 days ago, a race where he made all and won well enough; more to do back in a handicap.

Promising second over C&D last October, his second racecourse start; no better than midfield in three runs in Dubai over the winter; this should be less demanding and he's not fully exposed just yet.

Improved to win a 6f novice at Redcar in October on his third start; struggled on his nursery debut three weeks later but the heavy ground may not have been to his liking; a career-best effort will be required if he is to take this after his absence.
