campaigned as a sprinter thus far, often highly tried too which suggests the regard in which he's held, produced a career best on his first try at 1m, seeing it out well under a patient ride but probably benefiting from the emphasis on speed at the trip too; in rear, headway on bridle over 2f out, shaken up over 1f out, stayed on to lead late on; likely to continue in form.
