15/2, very good second of 8 in nursery at Redcar (5f, good), clear of rest. Back up in trip following a 133-day break and will be a threat if taking to this surface.

Dream Ahead gelding who found some progress in a first-time visor/ridden closer to the pace when fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago. Further improvement needed but that's not impossible. Visor discarded.
