Disappointing spell in Bahrain and fared no better when last of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f), albeit ridden too aggressively. Off 144 days and has since left Alice Haynes.

Off the mark at Windsor in May last year. Heavy defeat at Sandown a month later and let go by Godolphin for £27,000 in March. Entitled to need this.

Made a winning debut at Chelmsford in April and cast aside a couple of heavy defeats in handicap company when landing 12-runner contest at York 3 weeks ago. 4 lb rise perfectly fair.

Back to winning ways in 1m Newmarket handicap under this apprentice in June. On the back foot early after a tardy start at Ascot so that effort can probably be excused.

Different proposition on second start when successful at Chelmsford in November. Shaped as though in need of the run on reappearance in June but didn't step forward switched to turf/handicap company latest, hanging left.

Cemented positive start to his career when landing the odds in an AW novice, a fortnight ago, hard held. In top hands and opening mark could be lenient.

Arrives on a lengthy losing run and nothing to get excited about for current yard.

Forecasts

Battista (6/4), Monte Linas (15/8), Crystal Casque (9/2), Mr Professor (11/1), Mindthegap (14/1), Amaysmont (20/1), Maplewood (50/1)

Verdict

On profile, BATTISTA rather stands out as a 3-y-o on the up with the potential to rate quite a bit higher than his current rating. Monte Linas is the obvious danger on the back of his York win.
