4/7

Comment: Easy to back and made a low-key debut but he's put that behind him in two runs since, with solid placed runs on the AW and against a talented newcomer (who wasn't far away at Goodwood this week) at Beverley (soft) 12 days ago; looks ready for a step up in trip; sets the standard.

Comment: Breeze-up buy at £200,000 but he achieved only modest form on Ripon debut (5f, good to soft; 7-2) when a remote fifth of six; that wouldn't be the easiest of tracks for beginners though and he's entitled to improve.
