Bred well for the Flat but made a good start in bumpers last autumn, winning at Newcastle. This looks tough now switched to the level.

Fourth of 10 on 1½m Wolverhampton debut in December in a race that produced winners, but beaten a long way back there a fortnight later. Returns from 4 months off now tackling turf and handicaps will be more his thing.

Forecasts

Olympic Charter (11/8), Tornado Tower (10/3), Knightsail (9/2), Qarreeb (6/1), Australia Day (9/1), Monte A Bord (22/1), Outback Legend (22/1), Plutarch (150/1), The Bitters (400/1)

Verdict

This can go to a newcomer, with TORNADO TOWER and Olympic Charter both making stacks of appeal on paper for top yards. Knightsail is the clear pick of those with experience but will probably benefit from an even stiffer test.
