Has stood up well to a busy current campaign, completing a five-timer (2m4f-3m, good) in May/June and creditable second in last three starts, latest at Hexham where he has a particularly strong record; penultimate effort shows he acts at Sedgefield; new trip is the question mark.

Won five in a row over fences in May/June (2m4f-3m, good); it's possible he's gone off the boil judged on his last two runs but good to soft ground may not have suited at Cartmel last time and he's not ruled out.
