Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap

Came good at fifth attempt, winning five-runner Newcastle nursery (1m) from off the pace in October; not seen since but remains unexposed over this trip; contender if fully tuned up.

Delivered on 2yo promise when dominating five-runner Lingfield novice (1m) from the front in February; unlikely to have things all his own way in this much stronger race but probably still has potential.

Displayed clear promise on all three 2yo starts, most recently when sixth in valuable maiden at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to soft); makes handicap/AW debut after eight-month absence; cheekpieces removed after one use; market helpful.

Placed in two 7f AW maidens on the autumn; beaten at 8-11 odds when third on latter occasion but that form looks better now than it did at the time; gelded during the winter; ought to be suited by the step up in trip on this handicap debut.

Ended four-race 2yo campaign with clear win in Brighton novice (1m, good to firm) in October, having previously run well over 7f on Tapeta here; gelded during 173-day break; open to improvement in handicaps this year.
