Didn't have to improve on previous form to win a Wolverhampton maiden (1m4f, AW; 1-3) in April, but has been undone by a lack of pace in both handicaps since; races off the same mark and wouldn't be sure this will be run to suit him either.

Posted an improved effort at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) eight days ago, making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in a five-runner handicap; step back up 1f should be fine and he has solid claims under a 6lb penalty (due to be 1lb higher).
