Racing Welfare Supporting Mental Health Awareness Restricted Novice Stakes (Bands C & D) (GBB Race)

With a top trainer and he was a promising second on debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in March; however, he's gone backwards since and was disappointing at Ripon (6f, good to soft) last month on his first turf outing.

Kept on for promising third on debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March; failed to build on that when third at Ripon (6f, good to soft) but the step up in trip could be a good move and he retains potential.

Ran four times for Johnny Murtagh last year, finishing second in a nursery at Fairyhouse in September when last seen; subsequently sold for 25,000euros and gelded; upset in stalls and withdrawn from intended stable debut at Thirsk last month (40-1 at the time); improvement is necessary.

He ran twice last autumn and finished down the field at big odds each time (1m/7f, good/AW); he'll be of greater interest when sent handicapping.

Belied 33-1 odds when 2l third on debut at Leicester (7f, good to soft) last September; underwhelming at Southwell (7f, AW) the following month but he's a major player if rediscovering his initial promise.
