Ran well in first two handicaps (2m/1m7f); moves back up in trip today; respected

Still unexposed, but lacked the pace to land a telling blow on last month's handicap debut

Useful on the Flat but 0-6 over hurdles; below form this month and has stamina to prove
2	Nelson Criq Bay J:Philip Armson(3) T:Alan King	J:Philip Armson(3) T:Alan King	168	—	5-47U	103	97	72	15d	—	—	+10	14.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Yet to build upon his promising hurdle debut but still has potential; handicap debut
