Front-runner who landed three 1m handicaps last autumn, the last two at Newcastle (Tapeta); twice placed off 2lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) earlier this year, but may be vulnerable to an improver; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Built on earlier promise upped in trip when off the mark in a Kempton maiden (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; off three months and this easier track may not be ideal, but the three immediately behind him at Kempton have all won since; respected on handicap debut.

Has shown ability and was only just behind Parisian Scholar when fourth of five on handicap debut at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in April; might not come into his own until contesting a strongly run race in a bigger field, though.

Both starts at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta), finishing second of five on debut in March before landing odds of 1-2 the following month; that latest form hasn't worked out, but he remains unexposed and the longer trip shouldn't be an issue on this handicap debut.

Fourth of 13 behind Talk Of New York on his third start at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last October, but having been gelded he looked one-paced when fifth of seven on handicap/turf debut at Windsor (11.4f, good) a fortnight ago; needs to improve for the cheekpieces, but that is possible.
